Today concluded our sixth event of the Fishers Of Men National Trail West Virginia division for 2025! Once again we were on Lake Chautauqua, New York, where the teams battled it out to compete for the best and to try to take a jump to win in points.
Congratulations to Thompson and Tyler Thompson for taking 1st place with 16.93 pounds of fish and lunker of 4.85 pounds which was strong enough to secure first place today and to win our team’s point champion of the year! Congratulations men! They landed themselvesves a berth to the national championship being held next spring at Toledo Bend, Texas!
