Insights
AOUT's BUBBA expands into tournament fishing software through MLF partnership, potentially opening new subscription revenue streams.
American Outdoor Brands' BUBBA fishing brand has secured a strategic partnership with Major League Fishing to integrate MLF's SCORETRACKER technology into the BUBBA app, creating SCORETRACKER LIVE for Spring 2026 launch. This move transforms BUBBA from primarily a fishing equipment provider into a technology platform player in the competitive fishing space.
The partnership strategically positions AOUT to capture recurring revenue through the required Pro Subscription while potentially driving increased sales of BUBBA's Smart Fish Scales (SFS) hardware, which serve as essential companion devices for the platform. The integration creates an ecosystem that spans hardware, software, and subscription services—a significant evolution in AOUT's business model.
What's particularly valuable is how this platform targets the entire tournament fishing pyramid: from professional leagues down to casual neighborhood competitions. By democratizing access to professional-grade tournament technology, BUBBA expands its addressable market to 30 million American bass anglers mentioned in the release.
The catch-weigh-release functionality aligns with conservation trends in fishing, potentially broadening appeal to environmentally-conscious anglers and tournament organizers looking to reduce fish mortality. The extensive testing (63,000+ hours in professional competitions) suggests a mature, reliable product rather than an untested concept.
For AOUT investors, this represents a potential diversification of revenue streams beyond traditional outdoor equipment sales into the growing competitive fishing technology segment, though financial projections and pricing details remain undisclosed in this announcement.

"SCORETRACKER is absolutely intense! At all times, you know you've got to put the pedal to the metal. Knowing you've got to catch that next fish, or that a guy is getting some momentum and starting to catch up with you, it pushes you harder, lets you process information faster, and makes you a better angler. And now with SCORETRACKER LIVE and BUBBA, any angler or fan can experience that intensity."

Three-Time Bass Pro Tour Pro Angler of the Year
Introduced in 2023, the revolutionary BUBBA Pro Series SFS and BUBBA mobile fishing app deliver speed and accuracy for anglers by allowing them to rapidly weigh their catch, automatically upload the data to the connected BUBBA app and immediately release every fish. No need to transport fish to shore for a weigh-in. MLF named the BUBBA Pro Series SFS the Official Scale of Major League Fishing beginning with the 2024 season, citing its rapid data capture, accuracy and communication features that support the catch, weigh, and immediate-release format long advocated by the league to drive tournament excitement and conservation.
The MLF SCORETRACKER platform is currently accessible only by MLF administrators and pro anglers, and visible to Bass Pro Tour fans following the action live on MajorLeagueFishing.com, the MLF app, RUMBLE, MOTV and Game and Fish TV. The new, integrated SCORETRACKER LIVE platform will allow any angler, school, team or organization to use the platform to host and manage a tournament from anywhere while providing live scoring for fans. The organizer simply downloads the BUBBA Fishing app, purchases a Pro Subscription, clicks SCORETRACKER LIVE, and follows the easy setup process to build and manage a real-time scoring tournament, including inviting anglers to participate, managing entry fees and payouts, and enforcing custom rule sets. Anglers participate by launching their BUBBA app with paid Pro Subscription, selecting the SCORETRACKER LIVE tournament to which they were invited, and weighing their catch on a BUBBA Pro SFS or SFS Lite scale during tournament hours. Both anglers and fans can track tournament results live for FREE via the real-time leaderboard in the BUBBA app or at .
"Today's announcement marks an exciting step forward in the evolution of tournament fishing," said Boyd Duckett, President and CEO of Major League Fishing. "At MLF, we are focused on improving bass fishing by creating experiences that are engaging for anglers and fans while removing logistical hurdles for organizers and promoting stewardship of our natural resources. By partnering with BUBBA to expand availability of our SCORETRACKER platform, we are enabling anglers around the world to experience the thrill of competing in real-time scoring events, just like the Bass Pro Tour pros. We are changing tournament fishing forever, and I could not be more excited about the future of our sport and our fisheries."
Brian Murphy, President and CEO of American Outdoor Brands, Inc., parent company of BUBBA, said, "Bass fishing holds a special place in the hearts of the 30 million American bass anglers and their fans, and at BUBBA, we have always worked to provide them with the absolute best tools. BUBBA is proud to partner with Major League Fishing to play an important role in advancing and preserving this pastime, giving today's tournament anglers a competitive edge, while helping to sustain bass populations for generations to come. Together, we continue to pioneer the sport of bass fishing."
