About the National Professional Fishing League
The NPFL was designed to bring simplicity back to professional bass fishing - one lake, the full field
fishing all three days, and the heaviest combined three-day weight winning. The goal of the NPFL is to
put the anglers first and build a trail that gets back to what the founders of bass fishing intended it to be.
