Lake Crystal BASS Bashers

The 2026 Bass Basher Tournament Series has completed stage 5 of the season. Last night the boys were getting after it on Big Jeff, Swedes, and Middle Jeff. Mason Linde and Carson Weinandt took home a 1st place win with a nice bag of 3 Bass. Our Big 3 Events consist of each boat fishing for 3 hours and weighing in their biggest 3 bass. The weather was great and fun was had by all. The biggest thing is that all of these anglers continue to spend time on the water, getting better and learning with each cast they make! Check out some pictures from last night as well as the updated Team of the Year standings.

The Bashers had their first Minnesota Junior Bass Nation Conference Tournament of the year in Lake Washington. This is also stage four of the Bass Basher Tournament Series sponsored by Scheels . The boys all fished hard. Asher Ramerth and Xavier Lauwagie took home 1st place overall with a winning bag of 13.23lbs. Great job boys! Check out some of the photos from the event as well as the updated season standings.

Come support our Lake Crystal Bass Bashers at their first Open Conference Tournament on Friday June 5th at Westwood Marina on Lake Washington. Weigh in starts at 1pm. It's a great experience for young anglers who are thinking about competitive fishing. Lake Crystal Bass Basher teams will fish against other squads like Tri-City, Scott West, WEM, and St. Peter. Micah Helleksen and Carson Swalve are pictured below. This tournament will start their 2nd year as High School Bass anglers. Good Luck Boys!

Stage 3, The Patriot Virtual, of the 2026 Scheels Bass Basher Tournament Series has come to a close. Lots of fish were caught, it was very competitive, but ultimately the team of Smith and Hawkes came out on top. Great job to all the teams out fishing all over the state this weekend! Thank you Scheels of Mankato for sponsoring our season series. Check out the leaderboard from the event as well as the Team of the year standings.

The 2026 Scheels Bass Bashers Tournament Series rolls on with Stage #3, The Patriot Virtual Tournament which starts today and runs through Monday evening, May 25th. This tournament takes place on any Minnesota lake and teams compete to catch the best 5 bass by length. One of those bass can be entered by their boat captain. Fish catches are posted on an online app called Fish Donkey. The winning team receive $25 Scheels gift cards and the 75 points awarded to first place in the team of the year standings. The most important thing is that these anglers continue to get on the water and become better anglers. Good luck Bashers!

Mason Linde and Carson Weinandt are first year anglers with the Lake Crystal Bass Bashers. Don't let that fool you though...these boys know how to put fish in the boat. I'm excited to see how they do this year. Welcome to the team boys!
