The Northwest Region of the Texas BASS Nation held its last two regional tournaments of the year on Hubbard Creek May 17th & 18th. Saturday’s tournament saw cloudy skies with a light breeze. Angelo Federation Bass Club member Derrick Ard blew the competition away with a massive 5-fish limit weighing 25.85 lbs! Derrick’s catch was anchored by the big bass of the day weighing 6.84 lbs. Derrick reported catching all his fish in a small area using plastics in 4-6 ft of water. Hunter Crossland was 2nd with 16.31 lbs. Shawn Taylor landed in 3rd with 15.27 lbs.
Sunday’s tournament also saw cloudy conditions but with a stiff breeze from the south. These tougher conditions saw most of the angler’s weights drop. Not for Angelo Federation angler Chuck Coger. Coger took 1st place with a huge sack of his own weighing 25.21 lbs! His catch was anchored by a giant weighing 8.47 lbs. Chuck reported catching all his fish early on a hump in 4 ft of water. Hunter Crossland had his second 2nd place finish of the weekend with 12.09 lbs. Shawn Taylor finished in 3rd place with 10.38 lbs. Shawn also had big bass on the day with a Hubbard Creek stud weighing 8.95 lbs!
The Angler of the Year title was also settled this weekend. It was a close race all year with several anglers in contention. In the end, Hunter Crossland took the AOY title with 395 points. Congratulations Hunter on a well-deserved title! Grayson Morrow was a very close second with 389 points. Third in points was new member Colin Walker with 385 points.
The Northwest Region Championship has been set for Lake Amistad on June 21st & 22nd.
Club Division: Northeast Region Championship
Hey everyone!
The regular season has come to an end and its time to start thinking of a place to have our championship that will be on 8/16/25 – 8/17/25. The majority had voted in the poll that was sent out before the season started for the championship tournament to be random drawn out of a hat. Each person in the top 20 that intends to fish will be able to put a lake into the drawing and duplicates are allowed. It doesn’t have to be in our region, but should be within a 4 hour drive of the DFW area. If you do not intend to fish, please let me know by June 16th so we can try to fill the spot. I will need your submissions by June 25th. This will give you guys plenty of time to collaborate together on a lake and stack the deck (increase your chances of it being drawn) if you so chose to do that. I will reply to all emails confirming that I received your choice. I will do the video-recorded drawing on July 1st. The video will show all the tickets laid out on the table with your name and lake written on them and you will see that all the tickets will be put in a hat and one ticket will be drawn.
If you have any questions feel free to reply to this email or call!
Thanks,

Team SE Region: Fairchild & Wimberley Conquer Conroe

Big Bass Results
2025 Southeast Region Team Standings
5/17/25: An overcast 76 degree calm Saturdady morning at Scott’s Ridge on Lake Conroe presented perfect fishing conditions. Except that it was hot with no wind. Of course that changed over the course of the day since we are in Texas. A light breeze kicked in around noon and was consistent through weigh-in at 2 pm.
The first team to weigh-in was Pat Fairchild and Wyatt Wimberly of Midlake Money Pit BBQ in Broaddus, TX…and their sack held up. The first time on the lake in 20 years, Pat & Wyatt brought five fish to the scales that weighed 19.37 lbs with a 7.19 lb kicker and big bass of the event. That combination earned them $1052.
Second place went to the Team of Tye Grissom & Mark Grissom with a solid five fish limit that weighed 18.72 lbs and icluded a 6.78 lb kicker fish. This team is the current leader in Team of The Year standings with one event left. They think they have it wrapped up but Brian Jones thinks otherwise. Toledo Bend will be the deciding event and Brian feels good about his chances on that pond.
Third place goes to the team of Terry Service and Erik Green also with a five fish limit. Their sack weighed 16.02 lbs. Terry injured his knee Friday and came off the IR list to compete. Looks like he held up all day with the help of a butt seat. Terry & Erik will have a say in what happens on Toledo Bend also. Second place in the TOY standings is not a bad place to be.
The final qualifying tournament in the SE Region will be June 8, 2025 on Toledo Bend at the Hwy 255 Ramp Sam Force Collins Park. Its not too late to register!! Get your third tournament in and qualify to fish the Team State Championship. You could be the next Classic contender.
