BENTON, Ky. – Get your popcorn and chicken wings prepped and ready to go for Sunday… but this week, it’s not for football. This week, it’s for fishing.

On Sunday, Dec. 8, Major League Fishing (MLF)’s General Tire Heavy Hitters Special Presented by Bass Pro Shops all-star event on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes in central Florida will premiere nationwide on CBS and Paramount+ from 3-4 p.m. ET or 5-6 p.m. ET (depending on local NFL schedule).

The star-studded General Tire Heavy Hitters Presented by Bass Pro Shops event, hosted by Experience Kissimmee, featured 30 anglers who qualified from MLF’s Bass Pro Tour, competing in a six-day tournament on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes for a purse of more than $500,000. In addition to the top payout of $100,000 to the tournament winner, anglers also compete for Berkley Big Bass Bonuses of $10,000, $30,000, and a whopping $100,000 reward for the biggest bass weighed during the Championship Round. 

Sunday’s airing on CBS will showcase the highlights from all six days of competition with behind-the-scenes angler commentary and interviews. Competitors include multiple former bass-fishing champions, including reigning REDCREST champion Dustin Connell, Jordan Lee, Jacob Wheeler and legendary pro Kevin VanDam , fishing in the final professional tournament of his storied career.

Proud sponsors of the 2024 General Tire Heavy Hitters Presented by Bass Pro Shops included: Abu Garcia, B&W Trailer Hitches, Barbasol, Bass Pro Shops, Berkley, BUBBA, Fishing Clash, General Tire, Kubota, Lowrance, Lucas Oil, Mercury, Mossy Oak Fishing, NITRO, Onyx, Plano, Power-Pole, REDCON1, Star brite, Toyota, U.S. Air Force and YETI.
