Bass Pro Tour 2025 Stage Six Coming to Marbury, Maryland MDBAL, July 22, 2024July 22, 2024 Major League Fishing has announced that Marbury, Md., is the site of stage six of the 2025 Bass Pro Tour season. The Charles County location on The Potomac River will be the host site for the contest which runs June 26 through June 29, 2025 at Smallwood State Park. The 2025 season is expected to showcase 65 of the world’s top professional bass anglers competing for millions of dollars, including the sport’s top award of $150,000 at every regular-season event, plus valuable points in the Fishing Clash Angler of the Year race, and qualification into Redcrest 2026 and the General Tire Heavy Hitters all-star event. The 2025 Bass Pro Tour season, consisting of seven stages, begins in late January with Bass Pro Tour Stage One at Lake Conroe, where all anglers start with zero AOY points and look to get their season off to a strong start in the race for the Fishing Clash AOY title. The schedule continues through six more regular-season events – with three venues never fished before on the Bass Pro Tour – along with Redcrest 2025 and the sixth annual General Tire Heavy Hitters All-Star Event. The seven-event regular season culminates with Redcrest 2026 in the spring of 2026. “The schedule includes some of the best bass lakes and rivers in the country, which will create consistent excitement for our fans,” said Kathy Fennel, MLF executive VP and general manager. “We’re grateful to our fans, local partners and Bass Pro Tour anglers as we’re set up for an exciting 2025 season.” For the first time in Bass Pro Tour history, the full field will compete simultaneously in the Qualifying Round on days one and two. From there, top anglers will advance to the Knockout Round on day three and ultimately the Championship Round on day four. Every day of catch, weigh, immediate-release competition will be broadcast live on MLFNOW! and streamed to the Major League Fishing app, MyOutdoorTV (MOTV) and Rumble apps, and at MajorLeagueFishing.com.
