Pre-tournament talk had anglers catching them in a variety of methods ranging from shad spawn, bream beds, clay points and around vegetation with frogs and swim jigs.

On Saturday May 3, 2025, Vidor Bass Anglers Association member Ryan Watkins bested the field of 74 anglers with a limit of bass weighing in at 19.37 pounds, Ryan states that he targeted grass that was holding shad all day and mixed in some sight fishing the inside grass line. Ryan went on to say that watercolor was an important factor for him to find productive areas. Ryan utilized a 6th Sense, Hush Frog worked at a high speed in the morning and once the sun got up, he had to slow his retrieve down with long pauses in order to get bit.

Vidor Bass Anglers Association member Ryan Watkins shows off his winning catch of 19.37 pounds from Saturday 5/3/25.

Tim Jahn with The Bass Club, fresh off his recent win in April on Sam Rayburn finished second with a five bass limit that weighed 19.32 pounds, his bag was anchored by a 6.07-pounder, which earned him the second big bass of the day honors. Tim said he targeted isolated pepper grass and reeds with a black frog early and around mid-day he would target grass lines in the hydrilla using the frog, a bladed jig, and a speed craw.

Tim Jahn with The Bass Club shows off his second-place bag 19.32, as well as the second-place big bass of the day a 6.07 pounder on Saturday, May 3, 2025.

Tye said he targeted a shad spawn early with a Pineywoods spinner bait and then would target shallow grass with a 6th Sense Hush Frog.

On Sunday May 4, 2025, Wesley Baxley with The Bass Club topped the field of 72 anglers with a 5 fish limit of bass weighing in at 21.42 pounds. Wesley said he started out targeting a shad spawn with a frog, boating two keepers. He then moved to bream beds for most of the day and could not catch another keeper. In the last hour of the day, he went to post spawn area and caught a 6.32 pounder and two more keepers on a shaky head to fill out his limit.

The Bass Club member Colby Bryant finished second with a limit of bass weighing in at 20.81 pounds anchored by the second big bass of the day a 7.49 pounder. Colby said he targeted hard spots in the grass that the shad were spawning on and utilized a swim jig and a wacky rig to catch them.

Club Div SE Region: Tim Jahn Tops the Field at Sam Rayburn

Posted on April 23, 2025 Written by Brent Stafford

The 2025 Southeast Region Individual Trail made their third stop of the 2025 season, at Sam Rayburn on Saturday, April 19, 2025, out of Jackson Hill Marina, with 82 anglers competing. Due to projected high winds, this was designated a trailering tournament.

Pre-tournament talk had anglers catching fish in variety ways, from chasing the shad spawn to flipping flooded brush, hay grass and Cypress trees.

The Bass Club member Tim Jahn bested the field with a limit of bass weighing in at 23.26, anchored by the overall big bass of the tournament a 9.07-pound Sam Rayburn beauty. Tim states that he targeted bushes and Cypress trees that were on windy points. Tim utilized a Strike King Rage Bug in Blue Craw with the pinchers dipped in garlic chartreuse dye, he felt this was key as it made it resemble a blue gill, he paired the bait with a Trokar hook and 3/8-ounce weight, he felt the heavier weight helped him make a more accurate presentation.

Tim Jahn shows off 2 of the 5 that anchored his winning stringer, a 7-pounder, and the Big Bass of the tournament a 9.07 pounder that earned him Big Bass of the tournament.
