The Progressive Bassmaster Elite Series is making its exciting return to Lake Martin on February 12–15, 2026. This high-stakes, action-packed event will launch out of Wind Creek State Park, drawing the nation’s top professional anglers and fishing fans to Lake Martin.
Lake Martin last hosted the Elite Series in 2018, when fishing legend Takahiro Omori claimed victory with a four-day total of 59 pounds, 8 ounces. Known for its clear waters and healthy spotted bass population, Lake Martin challenges anglers with conditions that demand finesse and adaptability, traits that will once again be put to the test on bass fishing’s biggest stage.
