Cody Rupert and Dustin Zeismer take Minnewaska

The first event of the 2025 season took place Saturday June 14th on Lake Minnewaska. The weather was gloomy all day with highs only reaching the low 60's with moderate East winds. Practice reports said that it was going to be a challenge to find the bigger bites, and sorting through a lot of small keepers was going to be expected.

In first place, the team of Cody Rupert and Dustin Ziesemer met the challenge head on and weighed a bag of 6 smallmouths good for 20.29 lbs. Congratulations on a great day on a very stingy Lake Minnewaska.

The team of Kent Mittelstaedt and Ethen Preston held down the 2nd spot with their 6 smallmouths that weighed 16.22 lbs. Last years champions didn't disappoint and showed they have a great understanding of Waska's brown bass.

Rounding out the top 3 was the Father and Son team of Chris and Owen Swanson. They had 4 Largemouth and 2 smallmouth that weighed 15.94 lbs. Great job guys!

Big bass for the day was a 4.06 lb. Largemouth that was caught by the Team of Dan and Robin Snider! That one bite was good for $300 in FXR Gear.

Congratulations to all our top finishers and thanks to our host site Waters Edge. We also want to thank FXR sponsoring us again this year. They are a great partner, sponsoring the plaques and supplying gift certificates for each event. Check out their website for all your clothing needs. FXR Pro Fish
