The Bass Pro Shops Championship, which featured 27 of the world’s best pro anglers competing as nine 3-man teams for a top prize of $300,000, wrapped production this past weekend in Clermont, Fla. The event, hosted by Lake County, Florida, was shot over seven days and filmed entirely for television broadcast. It was the culmination of the General Tire Team Series season, featuring nine teams of three anglers that had earned their way into the season-ending competition.
The seven-episode, two-hour series features the professional anglers visiting Lake County to compete on either the Clermont Chain of Lakes or Lake Apopka on each day of competition. The anglers do not learn where they are competing until they arrive to the launch ramp each morning, creating a reality-based television episode that showcases how the top anglers in the world break down new and unfamiliar waters.
The event will air on the Outdoor Channel as seven, two-hour original episodes from 2 to 4 p.m. ET each Saturday starting May 6, 2023.
The winning three-man team will claim the $300,000 top prize. The second-place team will earn $60,000, and the third-place team will win $30,000. Teams 4-9 in the championship will each earn a $15,000 prize.
