Stoner's 27th Annual Catch & Release
Bass Tournament

May 13th, 2027 --- Lake Fork, TX



We got lucky with the weather again this year! Although it rained a lot a few hours after the tournament, the predictions for heavy rain during the tournament didn't occur. So we ended up having low winds, high temperature in the low 80's, and just one brief shower. Pretty nice! The fishing wasn't great, but several contestants caught a few. And it was nice having Rhonda Fogleman and her dad, Alvin, fish the tourney for their first time. Fun stuff!

See the Official Results section at the bottom of this page for a full roster of this year's contestants.
