NOTES:
The Folds of Honor Patriot Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches was hosted by the City of Oxford and took place over six days last fall in Oxford, Alabama. The competition waters for each day of competition were top-secret and only revealed to the anglers when they arrived at the boat ramp each morning. Anglers were driven directly to the day’s competition area launch ramp by their officials.

“After hosting the Patriot Cup, the city of Oxford saw a tremendous influx of anglers traveling to the area and visiting the surrounding bodies of water showcased during the event,” said Thomas “Alfa-Man” Shelton, Oxford Business Leader and Marketing Consultant. We’ve also welcomed an increase in tournament trails choosing to stay in Oxford, and the overall impact has been incredibly positive. It was a very successful event all the way around, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Major League Fishing.”

The Patriot Cup featured 12 two-man teams divided into three groups as they entered the one-day Elimination Round matches. Each of the three Elimination Round matches featured four new teams, with the top two teams from each match of the Elimination Round advancing to the Knockout Round on Days 4 & 5. In the Knockout Rounds, three teams competed each day, with the top two teams from each Knockout Round match moving on to the Championship Round on Day 6. In the Day 6 Championship Round, the final four teams compete in a one-day shootout to determine which team will win the Folds of Honor Patriot Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches.

The MLF Fishing Clash Team Series Presented by Bass Pro Shops featured four Cup events in 2025 – the Challenge, Heritage, Patriot, and Summit Cups – with 12 two-man teams of Bass Pro Tour anglers competing for a share of $560,000 in prize money. Teams were formed through a selection process, where 48 team captains – based on Fishing Clash Angler of the Year (AOY) standings throughout the Bass Pro Tour season – selected a teammate. Teams competed throughout the fall of 2025.
