A little bit of everything from mother nature for Sunday’s Individual Trail, conditions went from overcast windy, to calm sunny, to windy with lightning throughout the day. Twelve anglers worked everything from ned rigs to crank baits and when it was said and done it was Ira Lynn atop the podium. Ira brought five fish to the scales for 16.99 pounds, including a tournament BB winning 5.03 pounder. Close on Ira’s trail, Tye Grissom brought home a full creel of 15.56 pounds.
June 2, 2025 – The North Central Region of the Texas Bass Nation, Club Division, has changed the location of the 6th and final qualifying tournament set to be held on June 22, 2025, on lake Texoma to Lake Ray Roberts. The tournament will still be held on June 22nd, however, instead of Texoma, the event will take place on Lake Ray Roberts with the official launch located at Johnson Branch of the State Park. Your can register for this event at texasbassonline.com/nc-tournaments.
When asked about the change, Stephen Farrar, the North Central Region Director, had this to say: “While I am generally opposed to making any changes to the North Central Region tournament schedule once it has been set and posted at the beginning of the year, there are certain instances where a change is necessary based on safety concerns or conditions that are outside of the Region’s control. In this instance, Lake Texoma crested at 18 feet above conservation pool approximately three weeks ago, the highest it has been in over a decade, and as of today the lake is still almost 13 feet above conservation pool. With limited access to the lake, the potential threat of floating debris, and an additional 12 inches or so of rain expected in the coming weeks, I thought it was best to give the anglers who have participated in the North Central Region trial this year to have a say in whether to move the tournament to a different lake as well as which lake that would be”
The participating anglers, by a slim margin, voted to move the lake to Ray Roberts on June 22, 2025, setting up back to back tournaments on Ray Roberts to finish out the 2025 North Central Region tournament qualifying schedule.
“I would like to thank all of the participating anglers for their assistance and cooperation in this regard, as well as their patience and understanding during this process”. – Stephen Farrar, Regional Director.
