Safari Bassmasters held their first club bass tournament of 2025 on Sunday, March 23, at Big Hill Lake. A gusty northwind was challenging at times, but the weather was otherwise fine for fishing.
Mike Bogle had a solid day with five bass, weighing 16.99 pounds. He has the biggest bass of the day, weighing 5.15 pounds. Bogle caught all of his bass on a Bomber Flat A crankbait.
Mike Morgan took second place with 7.41 pounds.
Loren Smith finished third with 5.24 pounds of bass, and Ron Umbarger finished fourth with 5.10 pounds.
The Safari Club will head to Grand Lake in Oklahoma on April 12 and 13 for their next tournament. Those interested in fishing with the Safari Club can contact Club President, Ron Umbarger by phone at 620-212-4464.
