The 2023 Minnesota State Championship was held on Clearwater Lake in Annandale, Minnesota.

Weather was hot and humid, but everyone had fun.  For a handful of teams, this was their first Tournament.  Cameron Muir and Maxwell Keeler, Monticello Fishing Team, took 1st place with five fish weighing 16 pounds 6 ounces. Coming in 2nd place was Brainerd Warrior team of Mason Green and Brody Kovatovich with 16 pounds 4 ounces. And in 3rd place was Will Utpadel and Jayden Flemming, Albert Lea Anglers with 16 pounds 1 ounce.

Alot of family came to watch the weigh-in.  We are thankful for the Waterfront Lakeside Grille for letting us use their docks and grass area. Many Thanks from parents and boat captains for putting this tournament on. Can’t wait for next year.

The North Dakota State Championship was held on Lake Sakakawea this year.  The weather was perfect and the tournament was timed perfectly with lots of bass being caught.  Teams had to weed through many small bass to decide on their keepers.  North Dakota is one of the few states that does not allow culling so this adds another factor to tournament fishing.  Weights were very close, but Logan & Ryan Bullinger edged out the win for their 5^th consecutive state championship title.  With less than half of a pound difference, the 2^nd place team of Alex Martel and Carson Dewald were only a bite away from 1^st place.   Congratulations to all anglers and thank you to the boat captains!

Tristan Campbell and Brody Graham took home the Championship title at the Nebraska State Championship on Lake McConaughy. Tristan and Brody brought in a five fish limit that weighed 15 pounds even. Right behind them in 2nd place was Ty Kries and Braeden Anderson with five fish weighing 14 pounds 14 ounces. In 3rd place was Jake Demuth and Trevor Niedbalski with 14 pounds 7 ounces.
