BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — B.A.S.S. is excited to announce Tackle Warehouse as the title sponsor of the highly anticipated 2025 Tackle Warehouse Bassmaster Elite at Lake Fork, taking place May 8-11 in Yantis, Texas.

Lake Fork has long been known for producing legendary bass fishing moments, and last year’s Progressive Bassmaster Elite Series event was no exception. More than 10 anglers broke the prestigious 100-pound mark, with then-rookie Trey McKinney delivering a jaw-dropping performance to claim victory with an astounding 130 pounds, 15 ounces — one of the heaviest four-day totals in Elite Series history.

“We are thrilled to welcome Tackle Warehouse as the title sponsor for this iconic stop on the Elite Series schedule,” said Phillip Johnson, B.A.S.S. chief operating officer. “Lake Fork always delivers incredible action, and with Tackle Warehouse’s support, we’re looking forward to another unforgettable event showcasing some of the best anglers in the world on one of the most electrifying venues we visit.”

As the industry’s premier online retailer for bass fishing gear, Tackle Warehouse has been a go-to source for tournament anglers and weekend warriors alike. Their sponsorship of the 2025 Bassmaster Elite Series event at Lake Fork ensures fans will experience next-level coverage, exclusive content and in-depth access to the gear and techniques that help Elite Series anglers land giant bass.

“We at Tackle Warehouse are so excited for the Tackle Warehouse Bassmaster Elite at Lake Fork in the great state of Texas,” said Joey Reggio, general manager of Tackle Warehouse. “We can’t wait to see huge bass, huge bags and tons of excitement at one of the most legendary big-fish factories in the nation!”

The biggest bass of the 2024 Elites was landed by Progressive Bassmaster Elite Series pro Justin Hamner during last year’s Lake Fork event. His 11-pound, 7-ounce behemoth may well be topped this year. With the potential for record-breaking weights and another thrilling showdown on one of the most revered trophy-bass lakes in the country, the 2025 Tackle Warehouse Bassmaster Elite at Lake Fork is a must-watch event.
