LANCASTER, Ky. (RFD-TV)Bradley Roy, a rookie and rising Major League Fishing competitor from Lancaster, Kentucky, made headlines as the youngest angler to compete in a Bassmaster Elite Series event. Roy is also among the 12 teams preparing to compete at next week’s MLF Team Series Patriot Cup in Oxford, Alabama, starting next Wednesday.
