Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana, Revealed as Venue for Major League Fishing’s Fishing Clash Team Series Summit Cup
The Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup is a six-day competition hosted by the Shreveport-Bossier Sports Commission. In keeping with traditional MLF Cup protocols all fishable waters within 60 miles of Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana, are now off limits to competing anglers. The competition waters for each day are top secret and only revealed to the anglers when they arrive at the boat ramp each morning. Anglers are driven directly to the day’s competition area launch ramp by their officials.
The Fishing Clash Team Series features four Cup events in 2025 – the Challenge, Heritage, Patriot and Summit Cups – each showcasing 12 two-man teams of Bass Pro Tour anglers competing for a share of $560,000 in prize money.
All six days of competition will be streamed live on MLFNOW!, starting at 9 a.m. CT with every catch, cast and strategic decision unfolding in real-time as teams break down unfamiliar waters and adapt together on the fly. The final period of each day of competition will be broadcast live from 1:30-4 p.m. CT on RFD-TV, and each event will also be featured in a series of six original, two-hour episodes set to premiere on Outdoor Channel in the first quarter of 2026.
