Tapia and Fudge figure out fickle PK bite at 3rd North Central Region qualifier of 2025

Posted on April 2, 2025 Written by Brent Stafford

YTD Standings

The North Central Region, Club Division, held its third qualifying tournament of the year on Sunday, March 30th at lake Possum Kingdom.  Several of the competitors fished the Team Division tournament on PK just the day before and thought they had some idea of what to expect from the lake.  Nope!  PK was as fickle as ever and played the old “show em one thing and take it away” game and left most of the anglers shaking their heads.  The one thing that was consistent from Saturday to Sunday was the wind!  It seems as if the wind starting blowing on January 1st and hasn’t stopped yet…and not just any wind, but west Texas topsoil dust kinda wind!  

When the “dust” settled, it was  Eric Tapia, Centex Basshunters, who topped the rest of the boaters with one of the only two five fish limits and weighing in at 11.91 pounds.  Eric received $432 for his efforts, making a tough day much more bearable.

With three fish weighing 8.99, DaShon Peck, The Colony Bass Club, secured the second place finish, just edging Andrew out by a little over half a pound, and cashing a check for $288.  DaShon also took home an additional $140 and the Big Bass title of the tournament with a nice 5.64 pound beauty.

Andrew Wren, Tarrant Christian Bass Club, had the only other limit weighing 8.42 pounds, however, it was only good enough for third place.

On the non-boater side, each non boater managed only one fish each and it was new comer Jordan Fudge, The Colony Bass Club, who took the top spot with 2.51 pounds, a mere .16  pounds more than the fish weighed in by Chris Demiglio, The Colony Bass Club, who took home second place honors.  Jordan’s fish was worth $288 in his pocket!

Thank you to all the anglers who participated and hope to see you next time. The next qualifier will be on Lake Belton on May 18th and will again follow the Team trail tournament on May 17th on Belton as well.  These back to back tournaments are a great opportunity to fish a full weekend on the same lake so mark your calendars and lets see what you got!
