MLF Toyota Tundra Giveaway Now Underway

BENTON, Ky. When Ian Cath of Virginia Beach walked into the Major League Fishing (MLF) REDCREST 2025 Outdoor Sports Expo in Huntsville, Alabama, this spring, he was hoping for a good time, maybe a handshake with his old fishing buddy Skeet Reese, and a bit of fresh Alabama air.

What he left with? A brand-new 2025 Toyota 4Runner – and a story that’s still making waves.

“I told my MLF contact Todd (Hollowell), ‘I didn’t pick the winning box. It picked me,’” Cath said, laughing. “I figured I was going home with a nice memory. I didn’t know I’d be going home with a new car.”

Cath, a soft-spoken, saltwater-loving grandfather, was the pre-event finalist in the 2025 MLF Toyota Road to REDCREST Sweepstakes. He traveled down to Lake Guntersville and Huntsville from Virginia, made a quick detour to Chattanooga to visit some friends, and showed up at the Von Braun Center ready to take his shot at the big prize. He was also kind enough to lend a hand.

“I found Todd and said, ‘Anything I can help with?’ Next thing I knew I was helping to direct foot traffic near the fishing rod giveaway,” Cath said. “I figured if I was going to win a car, I might as well earn it!”

Then came the big moment – the Grand Prize Game. Three contestants. Fifteen boxes. One hidden key.

“I ended up drawing the last pick, so I was third to go. And wouldn’t you know it – every box got opened but mine,” he said. “The crowd was buzzing… then the other guy opened his box and it was empty. I just raised my hands in the air. Winner by default!”

After a few days with his new 4Runner, Cath has been appreciating all the smart features that come standard.

“It’s like a spaceship,” he said. “It does just about everything except catch the fish for me.”

But beneath the jokes is real gratitude.

“I’ve never owned a vehicle this nice. I’m really thankful to Major League Fishing and Toyota. This has been a highlight of my life.”
