The 2021 MLF Bass Fishing League is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 128 tournaments throughout the season, five qualifying events in each division. The top 45 boaters and Strike King co-anglers from each division, along with the five winners of the qualifying events, will advance to one of six Bass Fishing League Regional Championships. Boaters will compete for a $60,000 prize package, including a new Phoenix 819 Pro bass boat with a 200-horsepower Mercury outboard and $10,000, while Strike King co-anglers will fish for a new Phoenix 819 Pro bass boat with a 200-horsepower Mercury outboard.
The top six finishers in each regional will then qualify for the Bass Fishing League All-American. The top 45 boaters and co-anglers plus tournament winners from each Bass Fishing League division will also earn priority entry into the Toyota Series, the pathway to the Pro Circuit and ultimately the MLF Bass Pro Tour.
