Stoner's 29th Annual Catch & Release
Bass Tournament
May 10th, 2025 --- Lake Fork, TX
The weather was almost perfect for this year's tourney. Partly cloudy, highs in the mid 70's. Very nice. The wind kicked up a bit at noon, but it wasn't terrible. As luck would have it, the B.A.S.S. held their televised "Elite Series" tournament this same weekend, but it didn't cause much of a problem. By Saturday the field for the Elite Series tournament had been cut down enough that they didn't crowd the lake.
Click here for highlights from the B.A.S.S. pro tournament that was happening the exact same day as my tourney (May 10th 2025). Some of my contestants may be in the background of some of their video.
It was certainly a fun weeekend! Thanks to everyone who fished this year!

Note that some contestants may have chosen not to weigh-in their fish if they were small.
Also, some contestants may have caught "slot fish" (currently 16-to-24 inches) that can't be weighed-in.
