Modesto AmBASSadors

February’s event took us into the Sierra Nevada foothills at New Hogan Lake for our third stop of the 2026 season. Matt and his partner Bill topped the field with an impressive 12.29lbs. Close behind, the father-son duo of Red and Henry VanderWeide secured second place with 10.83lbs, while brothers Garrett and Mason rounded out the Top 3 with 10.12lbs.

Big Fish honors went to Steve and Greg, highlighted by Steve’s beautiful 4.10-lb chunk brought to the scales.

Next stop: Moccasin Point on beautiful Don Pedro Lake. 🎣
