Bassmasters’ Creed: I promise to create among my fellow anglers, and the public in general, an awareness of my Chapter’s and Society’s contributions to angling, conservation and outdoor recreation. I will encourage and instruct the youth of my community in the art of bass fishing. I pledge myself to full adherence to all conservation codes and to detect and report any polluter of our nation’s waters.

Overall Big Bass Results

Friday 9/13/24: A clear cool morning dawned on Possum Kingdom with 67 degrees and no clouds. And…it turned into a hot one.

The day was hot but the fish didnt get the message for the most part. However that didnt deter Colby Bryant and Wesley Baxley with a total weight of 16.98 lbs and a kicker fish that tipped the scales at 8.14 lbs.

Congratulations Guys with a great sack on a tough day of fishing.

Stay tuned….one more day of the State Championship will determine the four Teams that will advance to the National Team Championship on the Ouchita River in Monroe, LA December 4-7.

Saturday 9/14/24: Another beautiful cool fall day awakend the earth with a little overcast. Boats began taking off around 6:55 am …. some going South and some North. Another tough day of fishing for the most part rendered only five 5 fish limits on the day.

Kent Sikes and Joe Smith came out on top with a limit of black bass that weighed 14.07 lbs. Combined with their day 1 weight for an overall weight of 23.39 lbs, enough to earn the title of Texas Bassmaster Open Team Trail Champions and a $2300 pay day!! Congratulations guys.


Second place team Dean Alexander & Tom martens and $1500 – Total weight 21.69 lbs.


Third place team Wesley Baxley & Colby Bryant and $1000 – Total weight 20.47 lbs. Big Bass winner and $430 – 8.14 lbs.


Fourth place team Trevor Romans & David Rush and $750 – 19.30 lbs.


Fifth place team James Seymour & Casey Garcia and $500 – 18.48 lbs


Sixthe place team Jordan Bauman & William Bevley and $300 – 16.28 lbs.


Seventh place team Mike Schooler & Randy White and $200 – 15.29 lbs.

A big thank you to the Team Division crew for putting this event together! Charles Harkless – NE Region Director, Ron Stevensen – South Region Director, Tom Chandler – Team Division Assistant Director and Brent Stafford – Team Division Director.

The top four teams will advance to the National Team Championship on the Ouachita River in Monroe, LA December 4 – 7, 2024. Texas will be well represented at the National level and we would love to see a Texas angler in the 2025 Bassmaster Classic from the Texas Bassmaster Open Team Trail.

Congratulations and best of luck gentlemen!! See you in December.
