FFA and fishing make a pretty good team. In their first ever tournament, Hemphill FFA enjoyed 21 Boats on Toledo Bend. At weigh-in time, two FFA teams ranked in the top three and earned checks. Third was Conor McDaniel and Sam Welch, Second and Big Bass Winner was Caden Wright and dad Jarret. First place was Mikey Davis and Felica Ellison. Thanks to all the sponsors and a special thanks to Hemphill Bass Club for all the help.

Gary Goss of Hemphill, Texas, caught this 10.02pound bass on July 19, 2024, and weighed it in at Toledo Bend Tackle Company (our new official weigh station) on Toledo Bend Lake. Gary will receive a fiberglass replica from The Toledo Bend Lake Association for allowing us to weigh, measure, tag, and return this fish to the Lake alive. Congratulations on your catch! This is Lunker number 10 for the June 2024-25 year.
