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" multi-day tournament at Lake Fork on the same weekend as my Saturday tournament. 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 too much.

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.
