Founded in 2011, MLF has become a major platform for professional anglers, showcasing exciting and fast-paced tournaments.

The Major League Fishing (MLF) Summit Cup is a prestigious event bringing together top anglers from across the nation in a competitive, catch-and-release format. Unlike traditional tournaments, the Summit Cup uses real-time scoring, so anglers know their rankings throughout the day, which intensifies the pressure and competition. This tournament typically showcases a diverse range of waters, providing a unique set of challenges that test each angler's adaptability and skill across various fishing environments.

The Summit Cup’s format focuses on conservation and sustainable fishing practices. Each fish is weighed immediately and released back into the water, allowing participants to accumulate points without the need for live weigh-ins. This structure not only reduces stress on the fish populations but also allows viewers to experience the thrill of the event in a dynamic, real-time setting. Adding to its appeal, the Summit Cup receives extensive television coverage, allowing fishing enthusiasts worldwide to follow their favorite pros and witness dramatic moments unfold.
