The 2025 Columbus Bassmasters season kicked off with a great turnout at Buckeye Lake! Eighteen anglers hit the water, and it was Karl Guegold who came out on top, claiming first place with a total weight of 10.81 lbs. Karl also brought in the Big Bass of the day, making it a strong season start for him. Bob Pharris took second place, followed by Tim Ward in third and Kujuan Little in fourth.

Special thanks to McKenna Thompson for spending the day with us and helping out with pictures. Looking forward to the next event at Rocky Fork Lake!
