Avena Competes in Team Series Fishing Tourney

Pro bass fisherman Adrian “Jersey Boy” Avena of Vineland is competing in the fourth event of the 2025 season, the Major League Fishing (MLF) Fishing Clash Team Series Presented by Bass Pro Shops, which began this week in Shreveport and Bossier City, LA. Avena is joined by Mark Daniels Jr., of Tuskegee, AL, as Team O’Reilly Auto Parts. Twelve pairs are competing.

Avena has 21 tour-level Top 10s to his credit, and more than $1 million in career winnings. He finished in the Top 10 in Angler of the Year standings two of his four years fishing the FLW Tour.

Hosted by the Shreveport-Bossier Sports Commission, the  Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup Presented by  Zenni is the fourth and final Fishing Clash Team series event of the 2025 season. In keeping with traditional MLF Cup protocols, Shreveport, LA, was not revealed to Team Series competitors until six weeks prior to the start of the tournament. All fishable waters within 60 miles of Shreveport then went off limits to anglers. Fans watching the MLFNOW! livestream will find out the day’s competition waters right along with the anglers each morning.

Fans are encouraged to follow the Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup Presented by Zenni online throughout the day on the MLFNOW!® live stream. Every minute of every event will still stream in full on MajorLeagueFishing.com, the MLF and MyOutdoorTV (MOTV) apps, RFD-TV Now, Game & Fish TV, and Rumble, with the final period each day being broadcast live nationwide on RFD-TV. Post-produced episodes of the Fishing Clash Team Series will start in January 2026 on Outdoor Channel.

The MLF Fishing Clash Team Series Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup Presented by Zenni will also air on Outdoor Channel as six two-hour original episodes each Saturday afternoon starting May 9, 2026.
