Tune in this Sunday for the adrenaline-fueled finale of Major League Fishing's Bass Pro Shops REDCREST 2026 Championship, presented by Mercury and Lowrance, broadcasting live on GAME & FISH TV. Thirty-five of the world's elite bass anglers have battled it out on the legendary Table Rock Lake in Missouri, whittling down to a heart-pounding top-10 shootout for a jaw-dropping $300,000 grand prize. Catch every cast, hookset, and boat-side weigh-in for free across Roku, Prime Video, Fire TV, and more streaming platforms—no paywall, just pure fishing action that rivals any high-stakes tournament. What makes REDCREST more than just a fishing spectacle? It's a masterclass in American outdoor heritage, sponsored by Bass Pro Shops—a bastion of 2A values under Johnny Morris's stewardship. This isn't some sanitized ESPN event; it's raw competition on public waters where anglers wield gear that's as tactical as it gets: precision electronics from Lowrance (think military-grade sonar), Mercury outboards built for endurance, and rods/reels that demand the same skill as sighting in a rifle at dawn. For the 2A community, events like this reinforce why we fight for access to these lakes and lakeshores—Table Rock's no-wake zones and boat ramps are gateways to self-reliant adventures, free from overregulation. Bass Pro's sponsorship underscores their commitment to hunters, shooters, and anglers alike, pumping millions back into conservation that keeps public lands open for rod, reel, and responsible carry. The implications ripple far beyond the leaderboard: as anti-2A forces push to restrict public lands and water access under environmental pretexts, REDCREST spotlights the economic powerhouse of recreational fishing—$100B+ annually in the U.S.—that bolsters rural economies and Second Amendment strongholds. Watch Ott DeFoe or whoever claims the throne, and you'll see why defending our rights means championing these tournaments: they train the next generation in patience, marksmanship (hello, accurate lures), and stewardship. Stream it live Sunday, gear up your own rig, and remind the world why the outdoors belongs to patriots who live it.
