MLF General Tire Team Series Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup to Premiere Saturday on Outdoor Channel
Headwaters Lake, Stick Marsh and Lake Garcia to be Showcased, New episodes of Team Series premiere every Saturday from 2-4 p.m. ET
INDIAN RIVER CO., Fla. (May 15, 2025) – The ultimate team challenge in professional bass fishing will be broadcast to living rooms around the world this weekend, as two-man teams of Major League Fishing (MLF) pros take on Headwaters Lake, Stick Marsh and Lake Garcia in East Florida.
The first episode of the 2024 Major League Fishing (MLF) General Tire Team Series event filmed in Indian River Co., Florida, last fall – the Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches Elimination Match 1 – is set to premiere this Saturday, May 17, at 2 p.m. ET on Outdoor Channel.
The 2024 Team Series was comprised of four Cup events, each featuring 12 two-man teams of Bass Pro Tour anglers competing from the same boat and working together to claim part of a season purse of more than $720,000. The Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches – hosted by Visit Indian River County and Play Treasure Coast Sports Tourism – was filmed in the fall of 2024 and showcased anglers competing on Headwaters Lake, Stick Marsh and Lake Garcia.
“Play Treasure Coast Sports Tourism and Visit Indian River County were proud to partner with Major League Fishing and the General Tire Team Series to host the Summit Cup,” said Rick Hatcher, President & CEO at Play Treasure Coast Sports Tourism. “We extend our sincere thanks to Major League Fishing for bringing some of the nation’s top anglers to experience the pristine waters and stunning natural beauty of Indian River County for this prestigious event.”
The Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches, in Indian River Co., Florida, was the fourth and final event of the season for the four-event Team Series.
In keeping with traditional MLF Cup protocols, Indian River Co., Florida, was not revealed to Team Series anglers until 30 days prior to the start of the tournament. All fishable waters within 60 miles of Indian River Co. then went off limits to anglers, and the competitors discovered exactly where they were competing only after arriving at the boat ramp on the morning of competition.
