Randy Moss, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, is releasing a new bass fishing series on YouTube named “Chasing 10 with Randy Moss,” and he will also be an ambassador to The Champions bass tournament. The inaugural edition of the event will be held in Tennessee in Fall 2026.
It was announced Monday by World Bass Enterprises (WBE) that the former wide receiver will be headlining the record-breaking tournament that will see elite anglers from Major League Fishing’s Bass Pro Tour and Bassmaster Elite Series compete for a jaw-dropping purse worth $3.25 million. The first-place angler will receive $1.25 million. In the history of bass fishing, it will be the biggest payout ever, per the WBE.
“Bass fishing has always been a big part of my life and fuels my competitive fire in retirement,” said Moss, per OutKick. “I get the same rush reeling in a bass as I did finding the end zone. (RELATED: Bryson DeChambeau Pivoting To YouTube, ‘Tournaments That Want Me’ If LIV Golf Comes To End)
“As I launch Chasing 10 and spend more time on the water, partnering with WBE was an easy choice. From day one I’ve been impressed with Brian’s leadership and vision, and I can’t wait for The Champions tournament this fall in Nashville.”
Moss is making a reference to Brian Bird, who is the CEO and founder of WBE.
The Champions bass tournament is set for Oct. 28-Nov. 1 and will take place in Hendersonville, Tennessee, which is right outside of Nashville. The event will be held at Sanders Ferry Park on Old Hickory Lake. The top 50 anglers from Bass Pro Tour and Bassmaster Elite Series will be competing.
With the new series from Moss, “Chasing 10” will be chronicling his journey to catch a 10-pound bass, which is considered an iconic benchmark by anglers, per OutKick. Celebrity guests from the world of sports and entertainment will be included on the show such as his ex-teammates from his days with the Minnesota Vikings: Daunte Culpepper, Cris Carter and Jake Reed.
Moss, who recently triumphed in a battle against cancer, said he uses bass fishing and nature as a “therapist” for life.
“Did I need a therapist after retiring from football? Maybe,” said Moss, per OutKick. “But I use bass fishing and Mother Nature as my therapist. My wife lets me get out two to three times a week.”
Moss added that his passion for fishing originated when he was a child, living alongside the Kanawha River in West Virginia. With bass fishing in particular, his love for that skyrocketed when he was playing for the Vikings, being introduced to it by a retired professional angler.
