WILKESVILLE, OHIO–The National Professional Fishing League (NPFL) is honored to announce the upcoming NPFL Military Classic, a tournament designed by veterans, for veterans. This event embodies the “NPFL Way”—a commitment to excellence, community, and giving back.

The Military Classic is purpose-built to serve those who have served our nation. It offers a platform for veterans and active-duty service members to connect, compete, and find camaraderie through the shared passion of bass fishing.

“This tournament is more than a competition; it’s our way of honoring the sacrifices made by our military brothers and sisters,” said NPFL President Brad Fuller. “We’re excited for the opportunity to give back and provide an environment where veterans can thrive.”

Adding to the excitement, the NPFL is proud to announce a commitment from Lew’s American Hero® Program as a supporting partner. The American Hero® Program pledges a portion of profits from the sale of every American Hero® rod, reel, and combo to support programs that benefit military veterans in their return to enjoying recreational opportunities outdoors, such as fishing.

The Military Classic will be 100% centered around bringing back a meaningful, impactful experience for our veteran and active-duty community through the sport of bass fishing.
