The National Professional Fishing League (NPFL) has announced the opening of applications for the 2024 season. Currently, the league has 100 anglers signed up for the upcoming season and is now looking to complete the field with 30 more competitors.
Each competitor fishes for all three days of competition without co-anglers for a $100,000 first-place prize. The trailered weigh-ins ensure the convenience and accessibility for both anglers and fans, while the broadcast production by PHYX-TV, hosted by Luke Dunkin and Fat Cat Newton, offers an immersive viewing experience.
One of the highlights of the NPFL format is the no-entry-fee championship at the end of the season, offering anglers yet another chance to compete for the $100,000 top prize. Qualification for the championship is based on either winning a regular season event or finishing in the Top 40 in the Angler of the Year standings. The Angler of the Year winner will not only receive $20,000, but also have entry fees paid for the 2025 season.
"In 2023, we achieved extraordinary success by building strong relationships with venues, industry partners and anglers nationwide,” said NPFL president Brad Fuller. “The League's growth exceeded expectations as a tournament trail and thriving business. As we approach the 2024 season, we're eager to forge partnerships with like-minded entities who share our passion for the great outdoors. Our remarkable growth is a testament to our commitment and we're here to stay, filled with optimism for the future."
The NPFL is in the process of building the 2024 schedule and there is currently no set timeline on its release date.
