Big Bass Results

2/4/2023: Saturday started cold and foggy which delayed the take-off a little. But the fog broke and left the guys with a sunny day in the high 50s and a brisk SE breeze. One limit came to the scales out of 15 teams. They were definitely being tight lipped that day!

Congratulations to Steven Caldwell and Kazuki Katajima with Denton County Bass Club! They took first place with 4 fish that went 10.19 lbs, all about the same size. Steven had another one on and lost it so they would have sealed the deal a little tighter if he had gotten that one in the boat.

Second place, and the only five fish limit of the day, went to the Team of Randy Knight and Michael Curtsinger. Their five went 9.84 lbs again all about the same size. It seems that red lipless cranks did the trick for them.

And in third place was Justin Bullard and Jarrett Dehart with two fish that went 9.45 lbs. Their sack was anchored by the big bass of the event at 7.31 lbs.

Congratulations to the winners and thanks for getting the North Central Region Team tournament trail off to a great start!!

The next NC Team Tournament will be on Cedar Creek Reservoir at Log Cabin Boat Ramp, March 11, 2023. Grab a partner and get in on the competition!!

It’s official! We are pleased to announce the 2023 Texas Bassmaster Open Team Trail Championship will be hosted by Gun Barrel City on Cedar Creek Reservoir out of Tom Finley Park September 15 – 16, 2023. We appreciate the efforts of Mayor David Skains, City Manager Jeff Arnswald and Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Robin Sykora in making this happen!!

Complete details and updates can be found on the 2023 Team State Championship page.

The Texas Bassmaster Open Team Trail is pleased to announce a new Region Qualifying format for 2023 and invite all teams across the state to participate. This is an “Open” team trail meaning teams do not have to be a member of a Texas BASS Nation bass club. Any team can register and compete in the trail. Just pay a one time membership fee and sign up for the trail in your area.

Historically there has been one Team Tournament schedule that visited between four and six lakes around the state. To qualify for the Team State Championship, Teams would travel long distances which would add to the cost of competing and qualifying to advance.

In 2023 we have scheduled tournaments in existing Regions so teams can fish closer to home, save on fuel costs and still qualify for the Team State Championship. Teams must compete in a minimum of three (3) qualifying tournaments in order to be invited to the Team State Championship. They can fish all three tournaments in the same Region or fish one tournament in three different Regions to qualify. Your choice! However, Team of The Year (TOY) points will only be awarded by Region. Each Region will crown a TOY based on point standings and that Team will receive free entry into the Team State Championship.

Why fish the Texas Bassmaster Open Team Trail? This is the only Team trail in the state that offers the opportunity to advance to the Bassmaster Classic. Do well at the State Team Championship and advance to the National Team Championship. The top three teams at the National Championship will then compete as individuals for a berth in the Bassmaster Classic.

Grab your partner, take a look at the Region schedules and sign up online for the trail that fits you best!!

We look forward to meeting you and best of luck on the water!!
