The Renewable Fuels Association is proud to celebrate a major win for professional bass angler Ryan Armstrong, who used his E10-powered boat to secure first place at Major League Fishing’s Tackle Warehouse Invitationals – Stop 1 in Kissimmee, Florida.

Sponsored by RFA, Armstrong dominated the competition while showcasing the exceptional performance of E10 in marine applications.

“The RFA simply couldn’t be more proud of our sponsored bass angler, Ryan Armstrong,” said Robert White, RFA’s Senior Vice President of Industry Relations & Market Development. “Ryan’s no-quit determination and ability to adapt on the water are a testament to his skill and hard work. His success not only highlights his talent but also provides a powerful platform to showcase the performance and reliability of ethanol-blended fuels in boats and the sportfishing world.”

Armstrong credited RFA and ethanol producers for fueling his journey to victory. “I wouldn’t be here without the support of ethanol and the Renewable Fuels Association,” Armstrong said. “This is the best start possible for the 2025 season, and I look forward to further representing corn farmers and ethanol producers across the country, demonstrating that ethanol-blended fuels not only fuel boats, but fuel championships!”

RFA has been sponsoring fishing and boating events for many years to educate water sports enthusiasts about the use of 10% ethanol blends in marine engines.
