The 2024 Major League Fishing (MLF) General Tire Team Series B&W Trailer Hitches Challenge Cup Presented by Toyota will air on the Outdoor Channel every Saturday from 2-4 p.m. ET beginning on Jan. 4 and running through Feb. 8.
During the week of Aug. 25, 2024, Erie hosted 24 professional anglers from the 2024 MLF General Tire Team Series. The Challenge Cup in Erie was the first of four events in the series, each featuring 12, two-man teams of Bass Pro Tour pros competing from the same boat and working together to claim part of a season purse of more than $720,000.
The tournament showcased the highest level of competitive bass fishing in the world and featured some of the world’s most renowned anglers competing on Presque Isle Bay and Lake Chautauqua.
The tournament was live streamed for six hours each day on August 25-30 on MLFNOW! and will now be aired in six two-hour national television broadcasts, reaching an anticipated audience of six million viewers.
The first three episodes will feature the Elimination Rounds, with four teams competing daily. The top two teams from each day will advance to the Knockout Rounds, and the final four teams will compete in the Championship Round, which will air last.
“This national exposure is an incredible opportunity for Erie,” said Mark Jeanneret, executive director of the Erie Sports Commission. “Having our waters featured on a platform like the Outdoor Channel reinforces Erie’s reputation as a top destination for anglers. We’re confident this tournament will encourage more fishing enthusiasts to visit and experience the exceptional fishing opportunities our region provides.”
