How great was it to see this guy weighing our fish? We love you Chuck Cremeans! So glad you were able to be a part of our Fall Classic. See you out on the water real soon!

The results and all pictures from the Fall Classic are on the website! Here are our top three teams from the Fall Classic:
1. Ed & Vicki Hankins - 9.24 lbs
2. Jim & Christine Andrson - 6/17 lbs.
3. Jeff Wentink & Kerri Johnson - 5.75 lbs.

Thanks to ALL of our teams for fishing BHT with us through a challenging year. We saw snow, storms and smoke, but ended with the sun shining! Thanks also to our 2026 sponsors, Vic's Sports Center, Fishermans Central, and Premium Exteriors. We look forward to seeing you all in 2027!

😲Congratulations to Team Hankins for the sweep AND the Three-peat!😲
Ed & Vicki beat out a 13 team field with their three fish limit weighing in at 9.24 lbs., and including big bass that weighed 3.56 lbs. They also took home the Vic's Sports Center $200 bass cash bonus.
The cherry on top was the Fishermans Central Ohio Total Weight Championship THREE-PEAT win for Team Hankins. They had an amazing cheering section, arriving at the weigh in with signs and everything! This win was a whole family affair 🥰. Runners up Team Anderson put in a great effort, coming in 2nd place for the Fall Classic and 2nd place for the OTW Championship.

Congratulations to back-to-back BHT event CHAMPS, Ed & Vicki Hankins! They topped 12 teams on a VERY stingy day on Lake Milton with 5.38 lbs. They took home the Vic's Sports Center Bass Cash winnings, too! Way to tough it out.
