See the 2021 Toyota Series Championship Qualifiers
With the conclusion of the regular season, all eyes now turn toward the Toyota Series Championship on Pickwick Lake. With a minimum purse of $200,000 on the pro side and a Phoenix 518 Pro on the line for Strike King co-anglers, it’s a massive event to end the fishing season. This year, the top 25 from each division qualified, as well as the regular-season winners, in addition to the top 12 from the new Wild Card Division. On top of the Toyota Series regulars, there are international qualifiers, plus a select group of top finishers from almost every level MLF offers in the event.
Though the field is not final yet, with some travel plans still in flux and international qualifiers yet to be locked in, the qualifiers below represent the whole country and have some fantastic fishing talent.
