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.

Seymour & Garcia Take the Final NC Region Event on LBJ & Win Team of The Year

Posted on June 24, 2024 Written by Brent Stafford

Team Results
2024 North Central Region Team Standings

6/22/24 LBJ Lake Results

LBJ presented a picture perfect morning to greet the anglers. We had a full moon, someone called it a Strawberry Moon. Winds were absolutely calm. We were able to launch at exactly 6am, and the teams scattered across the lake in short order. 

At the end of the day, it was the team of James Seymour and Casey Garcia who bested the field with the weight of 15.22 pounds, anchored with a 5.25 pound kicker fish.   2nd place and

Big Bass honors went to the team of Pat Grimm and Jack Morse. they weighed in 14.03 pounds and had Big Bass of the day at 5.52 pounds. 

3rd place went to Jerry Bell and Donald Bell with 13.45 pounds, they also has a 4 pound kicker that made the difference for them.


Season Recap

It was the team of James Seymour and Casey Garcia that dominated the North Central Region. They Finished 1st 3 times, 2nd in the season opener at Squaw Creek, and somehow only finished in 5th place at Eagle Mountain. That was the only tournament all year they didnt cash a check.

Congratulations on a amazing season.

2nd place went to Randy Fleeman and Rob Paxton, 3rd place went to Jerry Bell and Donald Bell, 4th was Chris Freeman and Ben Hale, and 5th went to Jim Harcrow and David Rosenquist.

I would like to thank all the teams who fished with us this year. We have the largest Team Region, and the best payouts. We grew from 2023 and I hope we will grow even more in 2025. The goal for 2025 is 50 Teams, so tell your friends to come fish !! Invitations to the Team State Championship will be emailed to everyone soon. Brent is working on securing the lake. As soon as we know what lake it is, you will know.

Keep checking the website and your email for the details.

Again, Thanks you all very much for showing up and fishing the trail.

Look forward to next year.
