Outside of the Regional Championships and the All-American, two-day Super Tournaments are the highlight of every Phoenix Bass Fishing League (BFL) Presented by T-H Marine season. Offering higher payouts, more points and two days of competition (plus checks) for the top 20 percent of the field, Super Tournaments are a key piece for anglers gunning for Regional qualification and great events to fish for anyone looking to cash in on a weekend of fishing.
The final event of the regular season in each of the 24 BFL divisions, the Super Tournaments feature up to a $9,000 top boater award + $500 to $7,000 in Phoenix Bonus money. On the Strike King co-angler side, the top finisher can earn up to $4,500. Starting on Saturday, the top 20 percent of anglers advance to Sunday, which can be a great first step into multi-day tournament competition and gives you two chances to weigh in with live-streamed coverage.
Only in the Bass Fishing League can you fish close to home with advancement opportunities to championships like the All-American and Toyota Series Championship for a shot at winning top boater awards of $120,000 and $235,000, respectively, including Phoenix Bonuses. BFLs are your pathway to the Toyota Series, Tackle Warehouse Invitationals and, ultimately, the Bass Pro Tour.
While every division has a Super tournament, they don’t all start at the same time, though September is generally the month for Super Tournaments. This year, the Savannah River Division kicks things off August 17-18 with its Super Tournament on Lake Hartwell. Then, it’s the LBL Division’s turn with a Super Tournament on Kentucky-Barkley August 24-25 before a full weekend slate September 7-8 at Lake Murray, Rend Lake, Sam Rayburn Reservoir, Table Rock Lake, Dale Hollow Lake and the James River.
Super Tournament entry fees are $330 for boaters and $165 for co-anglers. You can check out the full schedule and find the events that are right for you here.
