Elite Anglers Line Up for the 2024 Tackle Warehouse Invitationals | Bass Angler Magazine
Major League Fishing has unveiled an exciting lineup for the 2024 Tackle Warehouse Invitationals. This competitive bass fishing series will include six three-day tournaments, featuring 150 anglers each vying for a significant top prize and the chance to qualify for the prestigious Bass Pro Tour. With a substantial season payout and the opportunity to compete at REDCREST 2025 in Huntsville, Alabama, the stakes are high.
Notable anglers committed to all six events include Kelly Jordon, Keith Carson, Drew Gill, and Keith Poche. They are joined by a formidable group of competitors, such as Bass Fishing Hall of Famer Paul Elias and Shaw Grigsby. Adding to the excitement is former MLB All-Star Mike Greenwell, who is transitioning his competitive edge from baseball to bass fishing.
The series promises an engaging format where anglers will be tested on their ability to secure the heaviest cumulative weight over three days. Fans of the sport can look forward to live broadcasts of the competition on MLFNOW!, with streaming available on the Major League Fishing app, MyOutdoorTV, and the official website. Highlights and coverage of the events will also be aired on the CBS Sports Network.
