Counce to Host Toyota Series Championship on Pickwick Lake

400 Bass Anglers Set to Compete for a Total Event Purse of $679,000

[print_link]

COUNCE, Tenn. (Oct. 19, 2021) – The 2021 Toyota Series Championship Presented by Guaranteed Rate at Pickwick Lake will take place next week in Counce, Tennessee, Oct. 28-30, where the nation’s best bass-fishing pros and top international anglers will compete for up to $235,000 cash. The three-day, no-entry-fee event, hosted by the Hardin County Convention and Visitors Bureau, is the culmination of the 2021 Toyota Series Presented by A.R.E. season, a six-division circuit that offers the best payouts and advancement opportunities for the lowest entry fees available, paving a path to the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit and ultimately the Bass Pro Tour.

“We are thrilled to welcome anglers who qualified for the 2021 Toyota Series Championship on Pickwick Lake and to display the scenic outdoor lifestyle and rich history of our area,” said Beth Pippin, Tourism Director of Hardin County Convention and Visitors Bureau. “Hardin County is well-known for our world-class smallmouth fishing and the consistency and reliability we bring to sportsmen, both on and off the water. We feel honored to continue our partnership with Major League Fishing by hosting this championship and are looking forward to a fantastic week.”

Pro Jimmy Washam of Covington, Tennessee, said he felt fortunate to be fishing the championship on his home lake and is excited to see how the tournament unfolds.

“There’s not as much vegetation on Pickwick Lake as we normally have this time of year, and the fish haven’t made a push to the bank yet,” said Washam. “However, the cooler weather coming in should help them get out of suspension mode and start biting. The bigger fish are already getting easier to catch, and we should see a lot of healthy fish in the 3- to 4-pound class, so it’s setting up to be a fun event.

“I expect to see some junk fishing, but I think moving baits will play a big role with the cooler weather and cooler water temperatures, and fish should really start keying in on bait. Depending on what type of water release schedule we have, there will be some traditional tail water baits in play, but I expect there to be a surface bite and a pretty good moving bait bite that will either be full-blown or will develop throughout the event.”

Washam said he anticipates it will take an average of 19 pounds per day to win the championship, and approximately 17½ pounds per day to get into the Top 10.

“I’m planning to enjoy myself at this event because there’s no stress for me – whether I finish first or last, I’ve had a great year, and I couldn’t be more thankful for it,” said Washam, who won the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit TITLE Championship in August, taking home the prestigious TITLE belt and $200,000 cash. “The TITLE win was amazing, but my family wasn’t with me, so I’m excited to have my wife and my son and a lot of friends from the Memphis area at this event.”

The Toyota Series Championship at Pickwick Lake marks the third time Washam has qualified for the championship in the five years he has fished the Toyota Series Presented by A.R.E.

“My greatest accomplishment, outside of the TITLE win, was winning the 2021 Toyota Series Angler of the Year in the Central division,” said Washam. “To me that’s one of the hardest accomplishments to get, because you’re fishing against a lot of great fishermen on their home water. The Toyota Series is the perfect place to prove to yourself whether or not you can make it to the next level, because if you can be successful in that series, then you can fish at any level beyond that.”

Anglers will take off daily at 7 a.m. CT from Pickwick Landing State Park, located at 120 Playground Loop, in Counce. Weigh-ins will also be held at the park and will begin at 3:15 p.m. Outdoor vendors will be onsite prior to weigh-ins Thursday and Friday from 1-3 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Fans are welcome to attend the event or follow the action online through the “MLF Live” weigh-in broadcasts and daily coverage at MajorLeagueFishing.com. The 2021 Toyota Series Championship Presented by Guaranteed Rate will premiere on the Outdoor Channel at 5 p.m. ET on Jan. 15, 2022, with additional airings to follow on the Sportsman Channel.

The full field of anglers will compete on Days 1 and 2 of the event, with the top 10 pros and top 10 Strike King co-anglers based on cumulative weight from the first two days continuing to the third and final day. The 2021 Toyota Series champions will be determined by the heaviest three-day total weight.

Pros and co-anglers can qualify for multiple contingency awards based on final standings in the championship, including the lucrative $35,000 Phoenix MLF Bonus for pros. The winning Strike King co-angler will earn a new Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower Mercury outboard motor.

The 2021 Toyota Series Presented by A.R.E. consisted of six divisions – Central, Northern, Plains, Southern, Southwestern and Western – each holding three regular-season events, along with the International division. The highest finishing pro from each division at the championship will claim a $10,000 bonus.

The 2021 Toyota Series Championship field features the top 25 pros, top 25 Strike King co-anglers and tournament winners from each of the six divisions; the top 12 pros and 12 co-anglers from the Wild Card division; the highest finishing boater and co-angler from each of the six Phoenix Bass Fishing League Presented by T-H Marine Regionals and the Wild Card at the All-American; the top three teams from the College Fishing National Championship; High School Fishing National Champions; TBF National Champions; and MLF International champions from Canada, Italy, Korea, Mexico and Zimbabwe.

Raymarine Pro Larry Rhoads and Partner Win 2021 Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s MWC Team of the Year

Raymarine Pro Larry Rhoads and Partner Win 2021 Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s MWC Team of the Year

[print_link]

The race for Team of the Year (TOY) in the 2021 Master’s Walleye Circuit (MWC) season came down to the final Bass Pro Shops & Cabela’s Masters Walleye Circuit event on Minnesota’s Cass Lake, September 18 and 19. With the top 11 teams in the running and with all of them attending the tournament, it made for a close race and an exciting finish. When season points were tallied, the duo of Larry Rhoads (Milford, OH) and Dan Johnson (Fayetteville, OH) came away with the 2021 TOY crown.  The team earned a TOY package valued at over $10,000, which includes paid entry into four MWC events in 2022, lodging accommodations, travel stipends and more.

“My Raymarine electronics help me prepare and execute for success in every competition,” says Rhoads, who runs three fully networked 9” Raymarine Axiom+ multifunction displays on his Recon boat – two on the console and one on the bow – along with a RealVision transducer and two additional 200KHz transducers.  “With nearly endless display combinations of CHIRP sonar, SideVision, DownVision, RealVision 3D – from any of my transducers – plus my charts, the system gives me a complete and customizable picture of what’s happening around and beneath my boat. I can’t believe how much I’ve learned to rely on Raymarine SideVision,” Rhoads adds. “It’s incredibly useful in locating the specific types of structure that walleyes most often use, so it allows me to eliminate water quickly. Once I’m on the chunk rock or other particular structure I’m looking for, I can see where individual fish are and even get a perspective on their size, then I can quickly set waypoints and fish them with any presentation I choose.”

A 15-year veteran of the MWC tour, Rhodes says TOY is always in the back of his mind. “When the opportunity actually presents itself and it actually happens though, it truly is surreal,” the Raymarine pro ambassador says. “This season we were in second place in the TOY race by three points going into the final tournament on Cass. Dan and I had a goal to finish in the top 11 or 12; we thought if we could do that it’d be good enough to win TOY. We had a combination of good bites casting spoons, Shiver Minnows, and hair jigs on the first day of the tournament, but those bites didn’t hold up on day two. We went to live bait and ended up getting our five fish rigging with redtail chubs that second day. We didn’t make our goal and ended up finishing in 29th place, but it still allowed us to add to our season points. Fortunately for us, many of the other top teams had their own struggles, and it turned out to be enough for us to earn the 2021 TOY title.”

A full-time software engineer working in the healthcare industry, Rhoads is a married family man with three kids. “When I’m home, I’m really busy,” he says. “It takes a village for me to be afforded the ability to fish these tournaments, and I’m extremely blessed and grateful to have a family who not only supports me in my tournament fishing but also encourages it.” Rhoads also credits Johnson – his fishing partner for the past 11 years – the MWC; MWC sponsors Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, Mercury Marine, and Lowe Equipment; as well as his own sponsors for his success.

Rhoads says he and Johnson plan to be back on the Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Master’s Walleye Circuit next season to defend their title. “Given the perks we won from this year’s TOY, it’s going to make it a lot easier for Dan and me to compete next season. We greatly appreciate everyone’s support and are looking forward to having fun and being back in the hunt in 2022.”

Jeff & Clay Ross Win the Bass Cast Tourney Series on SML Oct 16th 2021 with 19.24lbs

With an extra hour to sleep prior to the new 8:00am start time, 23 teams were energetic and ready to battle it out on Smith Mountain Lake on Saturday. Every fish counts as we grow closer to the conclusion of our 2021 season and the crowning of our points champion.

It was a close race with several 5 fish limit bags weighed, but Jeff and Clay Ross ultimately took the win by only 14 ounces with a total weight of 19.24#. Check out their interview below to learn how they did it.

With this tournament in our rearview mirror, there is just one stop left before the classic in December. To qualify, teams must fish a minimum of three (3) events. The points chart below indicates those who have already qualified (highlighted in yellow) and those who will need to fish the final regular season event on November 20 to make the cut (highlighted in red).

Thanks to everyone who came out. It was great to be with all of our long time friends as well as meet some new folks who joined us for the first time! We can’t wait to see you again next month.
