Powhatan Bassmasters

Yesterday, Powhatan Bassmasters participated in the JAT Memorial 6-Man Tournament. 3 fish limit for each boat. Against 7 other teams, our high school anglers brought home first place with a total weight of 25.99 lbs!!
Our Jr team weighed their big fish of 5lbs!!

The anglers and the captains look forward to this as it is a collaborative fishing tournament.-with the captains being able to contribute one fish to each boat’s bag.

This is the last weekend of fun for the season that could not have happened without the amazing volunteers. Leading the Bass Nation VA Youth- Jack and Karla -who selflessly pour their time and dedication like no others!

Last… shout out to the moms… featured of the 6 man team holding the trophy representing all Powhatan Bassmasters parents that supply the food and support that helps the team run so smoothly- Thank you!

Powhatan Bassmasters participated in the BASS Nation of Virginia Youth State Championship last weekend at Buggs Island. Overall a competitive group of anglers. High school team of brothers, Parker and Garrett Smith, came in seventh in a field of over 60 boats! What a great way to end a season for all of our teams. This could not have been possible without the dedication of Jack and Karla who selflessly have long days and early mornings for the benefit of our youth anglers. The vision of Garrett Towler to start this Powhatan team is something our youth anglers will be forever grateful for.

Up next is a 6 man team tournament at the end of the month and a fun tournament where our skilled captains will finally get out of the drivers seat and be able to show off their skills with their anglers.

Despite wind and rain… Powhatan Bassmasters were well represented at the 4th qualifying tournament. Brothers, P. Smith and G. Smith, clinched 1st place in the high school division with an amazing and untouchable bag of 20.07 lbs and also took home big fish of the day! B. Zaun took 3rd in the high school division. L. Painter and L. Kantzler came in 1st place in the Jr division with a total weight of 9.23! S. Savoy and S. Carter came in 3rd. Additional teams placed in the top 10 in their respective divisions. Perseverance and hard work pay off!
