Major League Fishing, the world’s largest tournament fishing organization, announced that the 2022 BFL Wild Card Regional will take place on Wheeler Lake in Decatur, Ala, Nov. 11-12. The two-day event will launch from Ingalls Harbor in Decatur.
Anglers must have entered all five events within a BFL division during the 2022 season and fished at least two of them in order to be eligible to fish the Wild Card. In addition, anglers who fish in a regular BFL Regional are ineligible.
The full field competes both days at the BFL Wild Card, with winners determined by the heaviest two-day catch. The Top 6 boaters and Top 6 co-anglers will advance to the 2023 BFL All-American, held on Lake Hartwell in Seneca, S.C., May 31-June 2.
There will be no official practice period or off-limits period prior to the pre-tournament meeting for the Wild Card. No contestant may be on tournament waters for the purpose of locating bass or potential fishing waters after the start of the pre-tournament meeting except during tournament hours.
Entry for the BFL Wild Card is now open and runs through Nov. 3 at 5 p.m. CT. Anglers can enter by phone at (270) 252-1000.
