Who will be contending at the Toyota Series Championship on Table Rock
With the conclusion of the regular season, the Toyota Series Championship Presented by Simms on Table Rock Lake is the final big event of the season. The field for the Toyota Series Championship is an illustrious one, composed of the best from almost everything MLF runs in the United States, plus international qualifiers from as far away as Zimbabwe and Korea.
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 US 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. Then, the Abu Garcia College Fishing National Champions and second-place team are added as pros, in addition to the third-place team as co-anglers. Plus, the High School Fishing National Champions and the TBF National Champions. Then, 19 pros and co-anglers from Canada, Italy, Korea, Mexico, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, MLF Central Europe, Namibia and Zimbabwe.
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. And, new for this year, the winner qualifies for REDCREST on Lay Lake.
