SHREVEPORT-BOSSIER CITY, La. — The final Major League Fishing (MLF) Fishing Clash Team Series event of the 2025 season, the Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup Presented by Zenni, will take place Nov. 16-21 in Shreveport and Bossier City, Louisiana.
Hosted by the Shreveport-Bossier Sports Commission, the six-day competition marks the fourth and final stop of the 2025 Team Series. In keeping with MLF Cup protocols, the tournament location was revealed to competitors only six weeks before the start. All waters within 60 miles of Shreveport were then closed to anglers until competition begins.
Sara Nelms, director of sports for the Shreveport-Bossier Sports Commission, said the area is eager to welcome participants and fans. “Our waterways offer some of the best fishing in the world, and Shreveport-Bossier City will deliver nothing less than the world-class hospitality Louisiana is known for,” Nelms said.
Fans can follow the event through MLFNOW! livestream coverage on MajorLeagueFishing.com, the MLF and MyOutdoorTV (MOTV) apps, RFD-TV Now, Game & Fish TV, and Rumble. The final period of competition each day will air live on RFD-TV.
