Inclement Weather Postpones Two Major League Fishing BFL Tournaments This Weekend

WHAT:
The Major League Fishing (MLF) Phoenix Bass Fishing League (BFL) Presented by T-H Marine Choo Choo division tournament on Lake Guntersville and Cowboy division tournament on Toledo Bend Reservoir, both scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 24,  have been postponed due to inclement weather forecasted across the region that could make travel difficult and potentially hazardous due to accumulating snow and ice.

NOTES:
The tournaments have been rescheduled.

The Cowboy division tournament on Toledo Bend Reservoir has been rescheduled to Sunday, Feb. 22. and will be the second event of a back-to-back BFL Cowboy division tournament weekend in Zwolle, Louisiana. Anglers will launch from San Miguel Park in Zwolle, Louisiana, that weekend.

The Choo Choo division season-opening tournament set for Lake Guntersville has been rescheduled to Sunday, March 8, and will be the second event of a back-to-back BFL Choo Choo division tournament weekend in Guntersville. Anglers in those events will now launch from Civitan Park in Guntersville, Alabama.

The top 45 boaters and co-anglers in each division based on point standings, along with the five tournament winners of each qualifying event, will qualify for one of six BFL Regional tournaments this fall. Boaters will fish for a top award of a new Phoenix 819 Pro with a 200-horsepower Mercury or Suzuki outboard worth $50,000, while co-anglers will compete for a top prize of a new Phoenix 518 pro with a 115-horsepower Mercury or Suzuki outboard, worth $33,500.

The 2026 Phoenix BFL Presented by T-H Marine is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 128 events throughout the season, five qualifying tournaments in each division. The top 45 boaters and co-anglers from each division, along with the five qualifying tournament winners, will advance to one of six BFL Regional tournaments where they are competing to finish in the top seven, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the BFL All-American.
