Niagara Falls, NY, September
20, 2025 - The Southern Tier Bassmasters finished
their points qualifying season on the upper Niagara
river/Lake Erie. Contestants were allowed onto the main
lake if weather conditions allowed. Launching out of
Griffon park near Niagara Falls it is a healthy run
of around 25 to 30 miles to get to the lake. Some made
the run while others stayed in the confines of the river.
John Carey topped the field with
a five-fish limit of smallmouth bass tipping the scales
at 18.79 lbs, anchored by a 4.11 lb. lunker. Carey bookmarked
the 2025 season with wins on Keuka lake and then on
the Niagara. Good job and congratulations!
Finishing in
second place was James Levendowski with his limit of
smallmouth tipping the scales at 18.63 lbs. He also
weighed the tournament lunker at 4.94 lb s..
Third place went to Ted Barth.
His sack went for 17.63 lbs. His anchor fish weighed
in at 4.55 lbs.
Rounding out the top four places
was Charles Prince with a limit of bass checking in
at 16.10 lbs. His biggest fish weighed 3.90 lbs.
Congratulations to all the winners!
We will have three more events
in 2025. These are all open to the public. Check our
