🎣 2025 Bass Classic Team Tournament Recap
Held Friday, August 1, 2025 – Conneaut Lake, PA
The 21st Annual Bass Classic Team Tournament was one for the books! A beautiful morning greeted 29 boats as they launched from the Iroquois Club at approximately 6:45 AM, marking the start of an incredible day of competitive fishing on scenic Conneaut Lake.
Lines came out of the water at 1:00 PM, and the action moved shoreside for the much-anticipated Weigh-In Presentation. Our longtime friend and emcee Paul Hirosky returned to the stage, bringing energy and laughter as he chatted with anglers while they brought their bags to the scales, manned by Wade Adams and Rob Genter.
Notable Catches:

Tournament Champions:
🥇 Ben Lipiec & Sutton Trzeciak – Total Weight: 24.68 lbs
A major shoutout to Ben on his 5th tournament win and congratulations to Sutton on achieving his first! -
Biggest Catch of the Day - Lunker Award:
🏆 Ryan McMonigle & Ryan Paden – 5.27 lbs
This year’s tournament proudly continued our tradition of community fundraising in support of United Way of Western Crawford County, with all proceeds benefiting local nonprofit programming. It’s a true testament to what can be accomplished when outdoor passion meets community purpose.
