Major League Fishing

Congratulations to Dave Lefebre, winner of @kubota_usa Heavy Hitters Presented by @BassProShops at Orange Lake! With seven scorable bass for 31 pounds, 3 ounces, Lefebre topped SCORETRACKER® AND took home @BerkleyFishing Big Bass with a 9-pound, 3-ounce Florida giant to double-dip and collect two $100,000 checks. Big bass, big money, big performance on the big stage. Well done, Dave! @ocalamarion #fishing #floridafishing #bigbass #heavyhitters

Take a moment to honor and remember on Memorial Day. #USA #memorialday #Freedom #sacrifice

The Top 10 pros at the recent @Toyota Series Central Division tournament at Lake Eufaula went deep in their bags of tricks to get the job done. Some went for a combo approach with both offshore and shallow programs with swim jigs and dice baits while others ripped jerkbaits and twitched minnows with the aid of forward-facing sonar. See what exact baits worked and follow the @TackleWarehouse links to make sure you have all your Lake Eufaula bases covered.

Maybe the ultimate insult to injury. A true heartbreaker for Jake Lawrence with time winding down at @kubota_usa Heavy Hitters Presented by @BassProShops. A $200,000 fish? Maybe. A $100,000 fish? Likely. And a splash in the face to punctuate the point. Props to Jake lawrence for taking it so well. @ocalamarion #fishing #bassfishing #heartbreaker #florida

A $100,000 payday is lifechanging. Two $100,000 paydays in the same day? Icing on the cake. 💪 With a 9-pound, 3-ounce Orange Lake tank Dave Lefebre wrangled up early in the final period of @kubota_usa Heavy Hitters Presented by @BassProShops, he secured the @BerkleyFishing Big Bass bonus of $100,000 and jumped to the top of SCORETRACKER®, where he managed to remain until the game clock hit zero for the Heavy Hitters crown. It doesn’t get any better than that. @ocalamarion #fishing #bassfishing #bigbass #florida #heavyhitters

It’s fitting that a week in Florida headlined by giant bass and big weights would come down to the wire in the final period of the Championship Round at @kubota_usa Heavy Hitters Presented by @BassProShops. Ron Nelson, Jake Lawrence and Mark Davis all surged, but it was Dave Lefebre – on the strength of a 9-pound, 3-ounce Orange Lake giant – who took down the two top prizes. While numbers weren’t crazy on a final day that featured a 3-pound minimum for scorable bass, the drama and tension never abated. From a Lawrence 8-15 that topped a Marshall Hughes 8-14 to Lefebre’s winning giant to a big one Lawrence lost at the boat with less than 15 minutes left, the whole Championship Round was loaded with action. What a day. What a tournament. @ocalamarion #heavyhitters #florida #orangelake #bassfishing

Here it is. The moment the game clock hit zero at Orange Lake and Dave Lefebre became @kubota_usa Heavy Hitters Presented by @BassProShops champion, a @BerkleyFishing Big Bass bonus winner and a proud new owner of two $100,000 checks. 👏 @ocalamarion #heavyhitters #champion #floridafishing #bassfishing

One is good. Two is better. Ron Nelson wasn’t content with just one Orange Lake 7-pounder, so he went ahead and caught another. It was Nelson’s second 7-pounder of the day after boating a 4-15 right before that and finds himself just off the lead with about 45 minutes in @kubota_usa Heavy Hitters Presented by @BassProShops. @ocalamarion #fishing #bigbass #heavyhitters #orangelake

New leader with half a period left to fish! Dave Lefebre jumped Jake Lawrence atop SCORETRACKER® AND the @BerkleyFishing Big Bass bonus hunt with this 9-pound, 3-ounce Orange Lake brute. If you’re going to catch a 9-pounder, the Championship Round at @kubota_usa Heavy Hitters Presented by @BassProShops with up to $200,000 on the line is a mighty fine time to do so. 👏 @ocalamarion #giantbass #florida #heavyhitters #majorleaguefishing

Just a casual 6-10 from Bass Fishing Hall of Famer Mark Davis. Cookie-cutter bass for Orange Lake. 😎 @kubota_usa @BassProShops #floridafishing #bigbass #heavyhitters #orangelake

The marathon of massive Orange Lake bass ends in one period. At the finish line: $100,000 for the winner and $100,000 for @BerkleyFishing Big Bass. Right now, it’s Jake Lawrence for both, but the third period has been hot every day this week – and double-digit bass have been the norm, not the exception. Will someone overtake Lawrence on SCORETRACKER® or in the hunt for the biggest bass of the round? Tune in to the MLFNOW! livestream at MajorLeagueFishing.com to find out. @kubota_usa @BassProShops #floridafishing #bigbass #orangelake #heavyhitters

That’s a double gut punch for Marshall Hughes at the hands of Jake Lawrence. Hughes caught a near-5-pounder to take the lead on SCORETRACKER® only for Lawrence to catch an 8-15 moments later to reclaim the lead. In doing so, Lawrence also eclipsed Hughes’ 8-14 for the @BerkleyFishing Big Bass lead. From being in the lead for $200,000 to looking up at Lawrence in both categories in just seconds. Fortunately for Hughes, there’s still nearly half a day of fishing left to land some more punches of his own. @kubota_usa @BassProShops @ocalamarion #fishing #giantbass #florida

Insane bites and giant fish have become commonplace at Orange Lake this week. Incredible topwater blowup? Seen it. A 7-pounder? Meh. When you’re fishing at the Disney World of bass fisheries for six days, these kinds of bites start to feel expected. And that’s absolutely awesome. @kubota_usa @BassProShops #fishing #floridafishing #giantbass

Jake Lawrence: That might be a big one. Narrator: It was, in fact, a big one. @kubota_usa @BassProShops @ocalamarion #fishing #bassfishing #florida

The bite window seems to have shifted in the Championship Round of @kubota_usa Heavy Hitters Presented by @BassProShops. After a sluggish start (a 6-3 from Bobby Lane right out the gates notwithstanding), Orange Lake heated up to close out Period 1. In the final 25 minutes, Jake Lawrence and Ron Nelson both caught 7-plus-pounders and Brent Ehrler, Marshall Hughes and Dave Lefebre all put quality bass on the @BubbaBlade scale to keep the line moving. When the clock hit zero on the first frame, Lawrence found himself on top of SCORETRACKER® and in pole position for a $100,000 payday – and so, too, did Hughes with the 8-14 he caught earlier in the period, which has him in the lead for a $100,000 @BerkleyFishing Big Bass bonus. Heavy Hitters has been incredible, and there’s only two periods left. If you’ve been missing out, there’s still a chance to catch the rest of the action on MLFNOW! at MajorLeagueFishing.com. @ocalamarion #bigbass #florida #floridafishing #heavyhitters

An “absolute beaut” for Marshall Hughes has him in the lead for a $100,000 payday – AND a $100,000 bonus at @kubota_usa Heavy Hitters Presented by @BassProShops. This 8-14 has a long way to go to hold up as the @BerkleyFishing Big Bass bonus fish, and Orange Lake has pumped out a lot of bigger fish this week. Still, Hughes deserves to be fired up for this one. Another. Florida. Giant. @ocalamarion #fishing #giantbass #heavyhitters #bassfishing

Well, that’s not a bad way for Florida native Bobby Lane to open the @kubota_usa Heavy Hitters Presented by @BassProShops Championship Round in his home state! First on the board – and with a good one. 💪 @ocalamarion #fishing #florida #heavyhitters #orangelake

The Big Bass bonus for the @kubota_usa Heavy Hitters Presented by @BassProShops Knockout Round tripled to $30,000, and if that weren’t enough pressure, only 10 pros could advance to the Championship Round for a shot at a $100,000 bonus and $100,000 tournament victory. More tension, more on the line, more of the same at Orange Lake: giant bass – and a lot of them. @ocalamarion #highlights #bassfishing #florida #heavyhitters

What you’re looking at here is a group of 10 pros who combined for 13 bass over 7 pounds in the last five days on Orange Lake (plus a whole BUNCH of 5s and 6s) and made the Championship Round cut with a chance at catching a $100,000 bass AND a $100,000 payday for winning @kubota_usa Heavy Hitters Presented by @BassProShops. Giant bass. Huge money. It all goes down tomorrow on MLFNOW!. @ocalamarion #heavyhitters #orangelake #florida #bigbass

It was a little LBL-on-LBL crime in the hunt for the @BerkleyFishing Big Bass bonus of $30,000 in the Knockout Roud of @kubota_usa Heavy Hitters Presented by @BassProShops. Kentucky Lake standout Cole Floyd boated a 9-7 first thing Wednesday morning, only to be upstaged by fellow Kentucky Lake hammer Jake Lawrence with a 9-8. Apparently, Florida’s no problem for the TVA boys, both of whom will take to Orange Lake Thursday in search of another $100,000 for biggest bass and $100,000 for a Heavy Hitters victory. 💪 @ocalamarion #orangelake #bigbass #floridafishing #majorleaguefishing
