Check out the 2024 Toyota Series Championship roster
There will be a ton of talent on display in November at Wheeler Lake.
Editor’s Note: This field list is likely to change slightly leading up to the event.
With the regular season wrapped up, the Toyota Series Championship Presented by Bass Boat Technologies on Wheeler Lake marks the final big event of the season. The field for the Toyota Series Championship is an illustrious one, comprised of the best from almost everything MLF runs in the United States plus international qualifiers from as far away as Zimbabwe and Spain.
The bulk of the field is made up of the Top 25 pros and Top 25 Strike King co-anglers from each of the six U.S. Toyota Series divisions and the Wild Card Division, plus tournament winners.
Then, anglers from the various lower-level championships are added, including the highest finishing boater and co-angler from each Phoenix Bass Fishing League regional as well as the Wild Card and TBF at the All-American. The Abu Garcia College Fishing National Champions and second-place team are also added as pros in addition to the third-place team as co-anglers. Plus, there’s the High School Fishing National Champions and the TBF National Champions, then an additional group of anglers from MLF’s international affiliates.
The top prize for the pro winner will be at least $200,000, with more possible depending on contingencies. Plus, the top finisher from each division and the International Division takes home an additional $10,000. Finally, as was the case last year, the winner qualifies for Bass Pro Shops REDCREST on Lake Guntersville.
