A big congrats to Anthony Gagliardi on his win at Lake Murray- check out this article to see his winning pattern.

Lake Murray didn’t disappoint when the Bass Pro Tour visited South Carolina for Fox Rent A Car Stage Three Presented by Mercury, with plenty of big bass to go around. And though it wasn’t the biggest bass of the event – second to Andy Montgomery’s 8-pound, 8-ounce beast – local pro Anthony...

Take a look at Poche’s pattern for his Cherokee win.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Tenn. – Alabama pro Keith Poche had a pretty non-traditional approach to practice at U.S. Air Force Stage Two Presented by Power-Pole at Douglas and Cherokee Lakes. His uncommon practice and the use of his shallow-draft aluminum boat were two major pieces to the puzzle of fishin....

Three cheers for Chris Lane on his big BPT win!

11/01/2023

Fans of the Bass Pro Tour are well aware of the frantic pace of the “every scorable fish counts” format the BPT operated under from 2019 through 2022. What fans may not be aware of is how challenging the transition was from the five-fish-limit format to every scorable bass. Thirteen-year tour-le...

Bass Pro Tour rookie Ryan Salzman took home the trophy and big check with his recent victory at Stage Five on Watts Bar Lake in Tennessee.

Dustin Connell takes it home on Smith Lake!

CULLMAN, Ala. – Heading into the Favorite Fishing Stage Three Presented by Mercury on Lewis Smith Lake, Alabama pro Dustin Connell was on almost everybody’s “must watch” list of favorites to win. For good reason: Connell is one of the most adept spotted-bass anglers in the country, fishing o...

It’s good to see Brent with his eyes on the prize.

Anglers strive to end every tournament season with a bang, but not the way Brent Ehrler did at an MLF Cup event in November. Ehrler had an excellent overall 2021 Bass Pro Tour season – finishing third in the Angler of the Year points race – but the Mercury pro’s big “bang” was more like [....

Dustin Connell’s giving us the low-down on wintertime bites.

Reigning and defending REDCREST champ Dustin Connell doesn’t hang up his bassin’ gear when the weather outside is frightful. On the contrary, he heads to his local Alabama waters to chase some of the biggest bass of the year. For Connell, cold weather activates schools of big fish south of the M...

MLF Angler Association Partners with MLB players to ‘Cast 4 Kids’ at Alabama’s Lake Guntersville

GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. (Nov. 10, 2021) – Professionals from two of America’s most popular sports are getting together in Guntersville to do a little fishing, and more importantly, raise money to benefit youth.

Pro anglers with Major League Fishing along with pros from Major League Baseball will test their skills on one of the top bass fishing lakes in the country on Sunday, Nov. 21.

Headed up by the Major League Fishing Foundation and the Major League Fishing Angler Association, “Cast 4 Kids” was conceived out of an idea within the MLF Foundation.

“Our goal at the MLFAA and MLF Foundation is to elevate the sport of fishing and there’s no better way to do that than to get our anglers exposure with other pros from other sports,” Executive Director of the MLF Foundation Wes Long said. “In addition, our goal at the MLF Foundation is to extend the life of the sport by taking care of our fisheries and making sure kids are exposed to fishing at an early age. We’re looking forward to raising money and putting on an event that kids and parents will enjoy.”

Each professional angler will be paired with a professional baseball player to make up teams for the tournament. The tournament launch will take place at Civitan Park in Guntersville.

The public will be invited to attend the tournament for free and meet their favorite pro anglers and baseball players. The teams are set to get off the water at approximately 1 p.m. A weigh-in will be held and the winners will be announced in front of the crowd. A fan fare will also be held at Civitan Park beginning at 12 p.m. Food and retail vendors will be on hand as well.

The list of former and current MLB players who have committed to participating in the event is sure to create excitement among baseball fans throughout Alabama and beyond.

The MLB will be represented by Jake Peavy, Ned Yost, Corbin Burnes, Josh Hader, Chaz Roe, Dan Jennings, Jake Marisnick, Jace Peterson, Wade Miley, LaTroy Hawkins and Lane Thomas.

MLF anglers joining the MLB players are Chris Lane, Jared Lintner, Brandon Coulter, Kelly Jordan, Paul Elias, Fred Roumbanis, Russ Lane, Casey Ashley, Mark Rose, Boyd Duckett, Gary Klein, Bobby Lane, Greg Vinson and Fletcher Shyrock.

Each team will leave out early Sunday, November 21 from Civitan Park with the goal of winning the tournament and securing bragging rights for an entire year.

S***t’s havin’ fun in 2021.

Don’t call it a comeback. S***t Reese has been a titan in the bass fishing world for years, but by his own admission, the California pro allowed the stress of a new business venture and league to impact his fishing for much of the 2019 and 2020 seasons. But starting with a fifth-place finish at [....
