Major League Fishing schedules Lake Fork event
Major League Fishing (MLF), the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, announced that Lake Fork will be on the schedule for the 2022 MLF Bass Pro Tour, which will showcase 80 of the best bass anglers in the world competing in seven regular-season tournaments around the country for millions of dollars.
Lake Fork was selected to be the second stop of the season for professional bass fishing’s top pro-level circuit. The event, hosted by the Lake Fork Area Chamber of Commerce, the Wood County EDC, the Sabine River Authority and the Rains County Tourism Board, will take place Feb. 19-24, 2022.
“This event coming to Lake Fork is a boon to our communities,” said Lake Fork Area Chamber of Commerce’s Micheal Rogge. “Lake Fork has been named the number one bass fishery in the country, and the Bass Pro Tour is coming at just the right time to showcase how great our lake really is. I expect to see multiple anglers top the 100-pound mark, and I predict we’ll see some giant 12- to 13-pounders. It’s going to be a fantastic event.”
Each stage of the 2022 Bass Pro Tour will feature six days of competition using the catch, weigh, immediate-release format, broadcast live on MLF NOW!® and streamed to the Major League Fishing app, MyOutdoorTV (MOTV), and at MajorLeagueFishing.com. Each stage will then air on the Discovery Channel, beginning in July 2022.
“It’s incredibly exciting to bring the Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour to new fisheries and communities and showcase the sport’s top level of tournament bass fishing to new fans and anglers,” said Michael Mulone, Senior Director of Events & Partnerships for MLF.
