Size versus numbers is the name of the game in Major League Fishing’s fifth Challenge Cup webisode. Two anglers leap from early frustration to the top of the pack and utilize different strategies to do so. One angler catches a high number of bass, while the other scores with fewer, but substantially larger fish.
“The anglers face tough post-front conditions,” said MLF commissioner Don Rucks. “And what’s interesting about this day of fishing is that it puts a spotlight on the strategy choices you have to make in Major League Fishing. I’ll bet I’ve heard a dozen of our anglers question whether it’s better to catch 20 bass that weigh between 1 and 2 pounds, or better to concentrate on catching a few giants. That question comes front and center this week.”
The fifth webisode in the Challenge Cup series follows action during Sudden Death Day 2. The webisode can be seen by clicking here.
The Sudden Death round features a 40-pound qualifying cutline. The first two anglers to reach 40 pounds advance to the championship round.
Elimination-round qualifiers Todd Faircloth, Alton Jones, Kelly Jordon, Mike McClelland, Takahiro Omori and Skeet Reese compete on the second day of the Sudden Death round.
Major League Fishing is offering a total seven webisodes, one airing each week. Each of the first six webisodes follows the corresponding competition day. The seventh webisode will be a wrap-up show, featuring in-depth, on-the-water segments with the winners from each round and the Challenge Cup champion.
The Advance Cast total-event BassPass, a package of all seven webisodes, costs $17.94, with individual episodes available for $2.99 each. The seven-event BassPass package features a “free” week.
