With every spot claimed, Pro Circuit momentum reaches a new level heading into 2026
BENTON, Ky. (Dec. 11, 2025) – Major League Fishing (MLF) announced today that the 2026 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit Presented by MillerTech is officially full, with 150 professional anglers committed to all six stops for the upcoming season.
The roster includes pros from 32 states that have collectively fished 10,450 MLF tournaments and amassed more than $30 million in tournament winnings from Major League Fishing alone. Nineteen pros hail from Tennessee, followed by Alabama with 17 and South Carolina with 15. The oldest competitor is veteran pro Nick Gainey of Charleston, South Carolina, at 81 while the youngest is 18-year-old Cason Sanchez of Flintville, Tennessee. Forty-nine pros are in their 20s, while 53 are veterans who have each fished 100 or more MLF tournaments. The field also includes eight current Bass Pro Tour anglers.
“This level of early commitment speaks to the strength of the Pro Circuit and the trust our anglers have in the direction of the program,” said Boyd Duckett, MLF President and CEO. “We worked closely with anglers and sponsors to build a program that rewards consistency and creates the best possible competitive environment. We are proud of the field we have assembled, from top veterans to young guns looking to make their mark, and we are excited about what the season will deliver for fans as we visit some diverse fisheries.”
Anglers interested in joining the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit waiting list can enter by phone at 270.252.1000, or if you have questions about the events, call tournament director Kevin Hunt at 270.205.5155.
