Event #1 Grand Lake
Grove, OK – Welcome fisherman to the first installment of the 2015 XFL-Extreme Fishing League presented by Skeeter Boats. It was deja vu all over again. The 2014 and 2015 openers saw very similar water conditions: COLD and clear. Mother Nature teased us with a major warming trend in early February. The fish were biting and this first tournament was shaping up to be a slug fest. Continue reading Event #1 Grand Lake

Team ID change for 2015
In an effort to allow us to better track your previous history with XFL, you will keep the same team number as you had in 2014. With the addition of live streaming at weigh-in’s, it has become important that we have history of each team as they come to the scales. This change will now allow us to provide viewers with your past winnings, finishes, and eventually sponsors. When you register for an event this year, simply type in your team number (if you don’t remember, use the Team ID list to find it) from 2014, and enter as you normally would. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to call or email us.

Registration is now open for the 2015 Skeeter customer appreciation bonus money. You must be registered prior to an event in order to be eligible for the bonus money. Simply follow the link under the customer appreciation tab to get registered. Be the highest finisher in an event, and win an additional $5000!

XFL Championship
Eufaula, OK – The XFL-Extreme Fishing League presented by Skeeter Boats held it’s 2014 season ending championship on October 18 & 19 on sprawling, windswept Lake Eufaula. 123 teams were greeted with cloudy, cool, foggy, rainy and windy conditions for this event. Typically, these kind of conditions lead to good catches. However, Lake Eufaula proved one tough nut to crack for the field. The weeks leading up to this event were an omen in that it was only taking 25 lbs+/- to win two-day events. Despite the favorable “fish catching” conditions, Eufaula continued to be stingy with its fish. Only 22 two-day limits were weighed with only a total of 346 fish for the entire event. Many anglers were left scratching their heads wondering why fishing was so tough. However, as always one team figured out the tough bite and bested the entire field. Continue reading XFL Championship
