Schooler & White Take Team of The Year Title in NW Region

Posted on May 18, 2025 Written by Brent Stafford

NW Region TOY Standings

As with any sport, participation is the key. Several Teams in the Northwest Region were consistent as far as participation is concerned but the thing that sets a Team apart is weight. The Team Division uses points plus weight for it’s scoring sytem at each qualifying tournament through the year. The weight part of the points system means that not only were you there…your bag of fish was consistently heavier than the other Teams that participated.

Mike Schooler and Randy White rose above the field by 38.65 points over five tournaments in 2025 to take the Team of the Year title! Congratulations to Mike and Randy!! Plaques will be presented to them at the Team State Championship in September on Cedar Creek in Gun Barrel City.

Here are the top ten Teams in the running for Team of the Year in the NW Region. We appreciate every Team that participated this year.

Team of the Year is an accomplishment but the goal is to qualify for the State Championship and beyond. Those Teams that fished in at least three tournaments through the year are qualified to fish the Texas BASS Nation Team State Championship. From there, the top finishing teams will move on to the National Championship December 3-6, 2025 on Lake Hartwell South Carolina. The winner of the four-day National event featuring the best grass-roots anglers in the country will fill the final spot in the 2026 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Under Armour.

Club Division: Southeast Region Lake Conroe Double Header

Posted on May 6, 2025 Written by Brent Stafford

The 2025 Southeast Region Individual Trail made their fourth and fifth stops of the 2025 season, at Lake Conroe out of April Plaza on Saturday and Sunday, May 3 & 4, 2025. Sunday May 4th was a make-up date for a tournament that was originally scheduled back February on Toledo Bend.

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.

Vidor Bass Anglers Association member Tye Grissom finished third overall with a five bass limit, tipping the scales at 18.95 pounds, anchored by 7.37 pounder that earned him big bass of the day honors. 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.

Jason Branham with the Katy Bassmasters captured third place with a 5 fish limit weighing in at 20.16 pounds, anchored by a 9.05 pounder, earning him big bass of the day and is also his personal best to date. Jason states that he targeted shallow grass and vegetation and kept a frog in his hand all day.

Jason Branham shows off his 9.05-pound big bass of the day on Sunday, as well as two others from his 20.16-pound bag that earned him 3rd place overall.

Thank you to the members of the assisting clubs as well as the Southeast Region Directors for their assistance in conducting a smooth tournament. The Southeast Regions final stop of the year is scheduled at Toledo Bend on Saturday, June 7, 2025.
