Stoner's 30th (and final) Annual Catch & Release
Bass Tournament
May 9th, 2026 --- Lake Fork, TX
The weather was a bit warm (87 degrees) but it was partly cloudy - so no rain. The fishing was pretty good too. And as usual, Jason did a great job cooking burgers for the post-tourney cookout.
This was the last Stoner's Bass Tournament. I've got other interests pulling in me in other directions right now. I think 30 years is a pretty good number to go out on. A big thanks to everyone who has fished this tournament over the years - I sure appreciate it. It was a lot of fun!

Also, some contestants may have caught "slot fish" (currently 16-to-24 inches) that can't be weighed-in.
