WHEN:
Saturday, Nov. 22, 10–11 a.m. ET
WHERE:
CBS Sports Network
NOTES:
The full field of 49 boaters and 49 co-anglers competed on Days 1 and 2 of the event. After two days of competition, the field was cut to just the Top 10 boaters and co-anglers, based on two-day total cumulative weight, and the final 10 anglers competed on Championship Saturday. The boater and co-angler that catch the heaviest three-day total weight are crowned the 42nd Phoenix Bass Fishing League All-American Champions.
The Phoenix BFL Presented by T-H Marine was a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 128 events throughout the season, five qualifying tournaments in each division. The top 45 boaters and Strike King co-anglers from each division, along with the five qualifying event winners, advanced to one of six BFL Regional tournaments where they competed to finish in the top six, which then advanced them to compete in the 2025 BFL All-American. The field also includes the top eligible finisher from each of seven The Bass Federation (TBF) divisions in the 2025 TBF National Championship.
