The Bass Pro Tour is off to an explosive start in 2026! On January 18th, the top anglers arrived at Lake Guntersville with one goal: to claim the prestigious trophy and the massive $125,000 prize.
But here's the catch: with a fresh start on the SCORETRACKER®, the competition was fierce from the get-go! Anglers gave it their all, making it a thrilling spectacle for fishing enthusiasts.
The Championship Round, part of the B&W Trailer Hitches Stage 1 Presented by Mercury, promises to be a nail-biting affair. The event has already witnessed three intense days of fishing, and the fourth day is expected to deliver even more excitement.
And for those who can't make it to the lake, there's good news! You can still catch all the action through the official live scoring on SCORETRACKER®, available on the MajorLeagueFishing.com website. Plus, the MLFNOW! livestream on the website, the MyOutdoorTV app, and Rumble ensures you won't miss a single cast.
The tournament organizers have gone the extra mile to make this a truly immersive experience for fans. But will the anglers live up to the hype? Only time will tell.
A word of advice: Don't miss the live stream, which continues until 4 p.m. And after the event, be sure to join the conversation. Do you think the prize money is a fair reward for the winner's efforts? Are fishing tournaments like this good for the sport, or do they put too much pressure on the fish populations?
