Starlink Team Series | Patriot Cup | Potomac River | Elimination Match 3 Highlights

Check out some of the MLFNOW! livestream highlights from Elimination Match 3 of Bass Pro Shops Patriot Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches, the first of four events in the third year of the Starlink Team Series Presented by Bass Pro Shops.

Jeff Sprague and Bryan Thrift of Team YETI came in hot with the first catch of the day and finished with a cool 53 pounds, 2 ounces on 24 scorable bass – nearly as much as the other three teams combined. They will advance to the Knockout Round, as will Nick Hatfield and John Hunter of Team O’Reilly Auto Parts, who pulled ahead from a tight race for the final seat above the cut line in Period 3 to finish second with 24-13 on 12 scorable bass.

Meanwhile, Dustin Connell and Mark Daniels Jr. of Team MillerTech put up a good fight to finish third with 14-3 on seven scorable bass, while Keith Carson and Anthony Gagliardi of Team Knighten Industries totaled 13-6 on seven scorable bass for fourth place.

Patriot Cup action continues tomorrow with the Knockout Round on the MLFNOW! livestream from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET at MajorLeagueFishing.com, the MLF and MyOutdoorTV (MOTV) apps and the Major League Fishing channel on Rumble. In addition, the final hour of each day of competition will be broadcast live from 4-5 p.m. ET on RFD-TV, and each event will also be featured in a series of six original, two-hour episodes set to premiere on Outdoor Channel in the first quarter of 2027.
