Wintergreen Trout Tournament Results 2025
/
Thanks to all the folks that turned out to make the Seventh Annual Spring Trout Tournament a fun time. The weather was perfect at the Trout Pond, with a few clouds early on which made for a terrific start to the day with many fish landed within the first hour or so. The action slowed a bit as the clouds gave way to sunshine and a light breeze, but the fishing was still exceptionally good with some of the later fish being the biggest of the day.
With about 50 folks fishing, the harvest was substantial. Approximately 60 fish were caught during the 3 plus hour contest.
All those that registered a fish won a prize. Many of those fishing caught multiple fish and some although not large enough to garner a prize, were still of sufficient size to make dinner for two or more!
The contest was divided into two groups – those over 14, and those under.
Under 14 Winners:
First Place: Gavin Kincaid with a winning fish over 3 lbs.
Second Place: Brayden Fix with a weight of 2.55 lbs. A
As a follow up to their winning fish it should be noted that between them, they caught 10 fish – quite the day! First prize was a $50 gift certificate as well as a fishing net and lures. Second prize was a tackle box with lure containers and a dozen lures.
Over 14 Winners:
First Place: Tie between John Twilley and Jake Najmabadi with identical fish weighing in at 2.4 lbs.
Second Place: Chandler Cox with a fish tipping the scale at 2.2 lbs.,
Third Place: Tim McCray with a hefty fish at 2.0 lbs.
The winners received a gift certificate for $100 as well as lures and other tackle. The remaining places received assorted fishing equipment and themed cooking utensils.
Those that didn’t participate in this year’s tournament may want to consider participating in our Summer Bass Tournament scheduled for June 28th or putting next year’s Trout Tournament on their calendars for next May.
