RACINE, Wis. – Humminbird Fishing announces new contingency programs with Major League Fishing (MLF) and the National Professional Fishing League (NPFL), rewarding anglers who trust Humminbird’s industry-leading technology in competition. With bonus payouts on the line across both tournament trails, the programs reflect Humminbird’s continued investment in the anglers who rely on their products at every level of competition.

“These programs are about more than just rewards—they’re about recognizing the anglers who trust Humminbird technology when it matters most and investing in their success by offering the opportunity to earn more while doing what they love,” said Jeff Kolodzinski, Brand Manager for Humminbird.

Major League Fishing Contingency
In partnership with MLF, Humminbird is offering bonus payouts at key events across multiple circuits, rewarding anglers who compete with Humminbird MEGA Live and meet all eligibility requirements.

Phoenix Bass Fishing League: The highest-finishing Humminbird-equipped boater in the top 10 at each Qualifier and Super Tournament earns a $500 bonus. That reward jumps to $1,000 at Regionals, the Wild Card, and the All-American.

Toyota Series: The highest-finishing Humminbird pro in the top 10 at each Toyota Series event earns a $500 bonus. The bonus increases to $1,000 at the Toyota Series Championship.

To qualify for either program, anglers must finish in the top 10, have a Humminbird MEGA Live transducer mounted to their tournament boat, and notify MLF of their participation in the Humminbird Rewards Program prior to the event. Bonus payments are made onsite by MLF. Program details are subject to change at Johnson Outdoors’ discretion.

“Humminbird’s legacy and innovation have played a major role in the evolution of competitive fishing,” said Kathy Fennel, Major League Fishing Executive Vice President and General Manager. “This contingency program reflects their commitment to supporting anglers across all levels of the sport by offering additional earning opportunities for those who compete with top-tier technology.”

National Professional Fishing League Contingency
At each NPFL event, the highest-finishing angler using a Humminbird XPLORE fish finder will earn a $1,000 bonus. To qualify, the angler must have the unit mounted and in use on the boat they run during the tournament.

“As the leader in fishing electronics, Humminbird provides the full arsenal of tools that today’s anglers want, and we’re proud to be a part of that mix and to help bring much-deserved attention to the new XPLORE Series,” said NPFL President Brad Fuller. “XPLORE offers everything an angler could want in a fully customizable platform with enhanced user interface. Our partnership with Humminbird will add value to both brands and reward our competitors who are using the best electronics in the game.”
