Major League Fishing Pro Circuit winds up today at Lewis Smith Lake
Updated Mar 14, 2021;
North Alabama anglers will get a chance to learn some tricks from many of the nation’s best-known bass anglers today as the MLF Pro Circuit winds up a major event at Lewis Smith Lake west of Cullman.
This marks the fifth time the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit has visited Lewis Smith Lake. The Pro Circuit last visited Smith Lake in April 2018, when North Carolina pro David Williams took advantage of the shad spawn around the docks, bringing home the hardware with a four-day total of 64 pounds, 9 ounces. Prior to that, in March 2015, Pennsylvania pro Dave Lefebre sacked up 65 pounds, 5 ounces over four days, with a unique technique – targeting fish chasing blueback herring with a wakebait – to bring home the win. Lefebre also holds the record for the heaviest winning weight in a Pro Circuit event on Smith Lake.

Brandon McMillan compiled 106-10 after four days in 2011 to set the MLF Pro Circuit record for the top cumulative weight at Lake Okeechobee.
By MLF Communications Staff Major League Fishing (MLF) will kick off the 2021 Pro Circuit season this week at Lake Okeechobee. In its 26th season, the circuit formerly known as the FLW Tour will feature 163 professionals competing across six regular-season events, each with a top award of up to $135,000. The field will also compete for points to qualify for the 2021 TITLE (the Pro Circuit Championship) and the opportunity to compete for up to $235,000.
By Joe Balog For most Americans, 2020 will not be missed when we put it to bed in a couple of weeks. However, some great things occurred in the world of professional bass fishing. While the major tournament organizations found it necessary to pause and rework their competitive schedules, the resulting formats made for noteworthy action. A few milestones shouldnt be missed.
Several events are sure to make my best of 2020 list, but only one can claim the top spot. Lets dive in.

Palaniuk takes two: Everyone already knew BMP was the real deal, but this year solidified the fact. With two Elite Series wins on two completely unique fisheries (Champlain and Santee Cooper), Palaniuk put to rest any claims of media favoritism or one-dimensional fishing. Without question, he ll be a hero of B.A.S.S. for decades to come, providing he stays healthy and keeps his game straight.
