Considering we were somewhat close to punting on Thursdays entirely, TNT #4 turned out to be a pretty normal evening on the water. Decker put out some good fish, and these four caught them when it counted. Congratulations!

2nd: Andrew Jacobson - 59” - $210
3rd: Daulton Schmidt - 58.5” - $126
4th: Josh Farrell - 58” - $84
Big Bass: Joshua Farrell - 24.5” - $210

Our final 2025 event is in two weeks!

There was light rain, thunder, and whitecaps around 5:00. By first cast, the lake couldn’t have been nicer. Thanks to the 46 competitors for trusting the weather forecast and fishing with us. And congrats to these anglers for catching them on a little stingier Decker!

1st Place: Aaron Spry - 64.25” - $460

3rd: Ramiro Perez - 58.00” - $138
