Bass Pro Tour | Stage Five | Cayuga Lake | Championship Round Highlights

Check out some of the MLFNOW! live stream highlights for the Championship Round of Favorite Fishing Stage Five Presented by ATG by Wrangler.
A slow morning gave way to a speedy afternoon victory for Adrian Avena. The New Jersey pro started the day with a 2-ounce lead that slipped away in the morning run, but he bounced back to the top of SCORETRACKER® with five bass weighing 28 pounds, 10 ounces.
This win was a long time coming for Avena as his first on the Bass Pro Tour. He came close earlier this season, placing third at Stage Four and eighth at REDCREST, but he sealed the deal today with a two-day total of 58 pounds even, 2 pounds over second-place finisher Spencer Shuffield.

Why is MLF hiding the 4 people who are under investigation. What is MLF afraid of? This makes MLF look dirty 1. Even MLF commentators said it was illegal. MFL needs to tell the truth, instead of hiding behind women’s skirts. Everyone like my comments, we need to know the TRUTH.

Who is they??

[@principleoutdoors8932]

Is it within the rules to reel up your bait to the tip of your rod and use a flogger to harass the fish with the rod tip until he bites? serious question

[@lucasharris1655]

I’m no cinematic expert, but it seems like it would make a lot of sense to end the championship round videos with the person who actually won the championship. Maybe show a little clip of them talking when the time runs out?

[@kevinstivers3860]

Man I thought Saint Clair had some big smallmouth. Jeez there's 5lbers all over Cayuga. And some occasional 6ers too. Wow. Also happy for Avena that he finally got on em right and held onto it. It's about time for him. I've seen him struggle for a while. Really glad for him that he got a good major win.

Most unskillfill tourney I've ever seen

Amen I believe many fish were caught multiple times

@@tylerfish6206 absolutely they were ot isnt hatd catching smallies trust me. I domt even bother to fish for em to easy to catch. The pros arent as good as people think.

Yes they were even MFL Comentators said so.

Just so people know NYS will be passing a law because of this tourney no tourneys during cnr season and some are trying to get mlf banned from returning to new york

[@mmmkay7729]

No local organizations would do this anyway because they actually care about the fishery

[@justinjunior3600]

They should. All these fish were caught bed fishing

[@judgetoogood1033]

MLF is crooked they won’t do nothing too the cheaters.

[@patrickmcphee770]

Why? they were released imediately. Carrying 10 fish in a livewell all day is garbage at everytime of the year.

[@aarons6931]

@@patrickmcphee770 gee idk pulling fish off a bed isnt good regardless if they were put back immediately it's also to shit it down before every state starts coming to ny for tourneys during the soawn. Look how bad most southern fisheries are hmm maybe because they eat and fish for them off the beds??

[@michaelwillis4532]

Reminds me when deer hunters kill deer over corn and bait. Great job there bud. The deer was hungry AF and the fish have to spawn.

[@aarons6931]

Unskilled anglers with money the sport is a joke

[@jaydeewatts8543]

Can we stop with these spawn tournaments. It's embarrassing. Sure it's a ton of fun. But to get a check for doing it. Pretty lame to be honest

[@aarons6931]

They only can catch fish during the spawn or pre spawn the pros arent that good trust me

[@heinrichkellogg7563]

🍺Enjoy these very much👍.

[@billljones979]

Like you don't have enough electronics that you need to be looking threw a megaphone now, I think it's stupid to be using a flogger, idk I think they're plenty of graphs on there boats we don't need to see someone looking threw a flogger, SMH

[@jaydeewatts8543]

100% agree. And they are allowed to hook the fish as they are looking through the stupid thing. Pathetic. Tournaments when all they are doing is looking at the forward facing sonar are bad enough

[@Ro6String]

SMH, allowing bathyscopes in a pro tournament.

[@chrishampton8842]

But FFS is ok😂

[@Ro6String]

@@chrishampton8842 No, I don't think that should be allowed either. Is there a sight fishing tourney that you are aware of? Seriously, I'm asking.
