WHO: Outdoor Channel
WHAT: Kicking off Outdoor Channel’s Q2 lineup is an all-new competition on network favorite “Jack Link’s Major League Fishing.” Returning for another challenge cup in the second season, 24 of the world’s best professional anglers compete in a unique tournament-style bass fishing competition. This season reveals an all-new location with real-time leaderboards, surprise locations and sudden death eliminations. Who will win the ultimate prize in the 2013 Geico Challenge Cup?
Outdoor Channel will also re-air the three new shows that debuted in Q1, “Elite Tactical Unit: S.W.A.T.,” “King of the Spring” and “Bottom Feeders.”
Hosted by Mykel Hawke and presented by Sig Sauer, “Elite Tactical Unit: S.W.A.T (ETU)” debuted as Outdoor Channel’s first-ever tactical competition series and features two teams made up of the best special weapons and tactics operators. Competitors are vying for more than $100,000 in cash and prizes for themselves and the S.W.A.T. departments they serve back home. Watch as the competitors complete action-filled missions that include simulated real-life situations.
Presented by RAM, “King of the Spring” pits brothers Mark and Terry Drury against one another in the ultimate turkey competition. Each lead a team of celebrity and industry leaders – including Rascal Flatts singer Gary LeVox, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Kyle McClellan and Outdoor Channel’s very own CEO Tom Hornish – in pursuit of 12 turkeys in three short weeks. See who comes out on top in this sibling rivalry.
The new original series “Bottom Feeders” follows three teams of commercial fishermen battling the harsh conditions of the environment while searching lakes and rivers for the opportunity to net thousands of unwanted fish (Carp, Sheepshead, Buffalo). Each episode showcases the ups and downs of the lives of commercial fishermen.
WHY: If you’ve been craving more bass fishing adventure since the finale of the 2013 General Tire Summit Cup, not to worry. Fans will get to enjoy the same competitive style, rules and three new anglers when “Jack Link’s Major League Fishing” premieres.
