Big Bass Results
2025 North Central Region Team Standings
March 29th.
The field of 21 teams were met with a Spring SW wind that drove temps into the high 80’s on Possum Kingdom. They also found what they had hoped for most, bass moving into spawn throughout the lake. Newley arrived spawners can be a fickle bunch sometimes, which is proved in the results. Kickers were the key to cashing checks, and we had 3 brought to the scale between 7.53 and 8.71.
Todd Guernsey and Michael Rice best five went 17.18 with a 7.53# anchor usings senkos and chatterbaits around mid-lake. This was their second time in the money in as many events and they find themselves currently leading Team of the Year in the North Central after earning $ 480 for 3rd place.
Eric Tapia and Steve Shows spent the day throwing Neko Trick worms and chatterbaits on main lake points leading into spawning areas. Eric and Steve weighed in 18.27 with an 8.65# kicker for 2nd place and a $960 payday. Eric’s payday weekend continued into Sunday as this was the first time that both the NC B.O.T.T. ( Sat.) and NC Club Division ( Sun.) were on the same lake the same weekend.
Kent Sikes and Joe Smith put together the winning bag on spinnerbaits and chatterbaits ( a bait used by all top 3 teams) keying on mid-coves and staying in 4 ft or less of water depth. They also brought in the biggest bass of the day at 8.71 pounds. Their efforts tipped the scales at 19.51 to take home a total of $1,960 of 1st place and big bass money.
Our next stop in the N.C. Bassmaster Open Team Trail will be held on Ray Roberts @ Jordan Park April 26th. Hope to see you there!
