Bill Lowen with the first place trophy in the first stage of the Bassmasters Elite Series for 2025.
Twice in three days vegetation threatened to thwart Bill Lowen’s efforts. Both times persistence prevailed, as the Brookville, Indiana, pro tallied a four-day total of 73 pounds, 14 ounces to win the 2025 FXR Pro Fish Bassmaster Elite at St. Johns River.
Lowen, who won his first Elite title at Pickwick Lake in 2021, placed third on Day 1 with 21-5, then took over the lead with a second-round limit of 24-4. Sacking up 18-1 on Semifinal Saturday, Lowen held the top spot and entered Championship Sunday with a 5-4 lead over his nearest competitor.
Day 4 proved excruciatingly stingy, as Lowen struggled to coax fish that showed increasing sensitivity to the week’s severe cold front. He missed his limit by one keeper, but after anchoring an otherwise slim bag with a 7-pound, 7-ounce bass, Lowen turned in a final bag that went 10-4 and edged Jay Przekurat by 4 ounces.
“Today was weird; I lost my fifth fish three times, and one of them was a good one — maybe 4 or 5 pounds,” Lowen said. “I’ve always said, ‘When it’s your time, it’s your time and you can’t do anything wrong.’
“Even though I lost those fish, the good Lord was looking out for me. To say I’m a two-time Elite winner is unbelievable.”
Lowen caught all of his fish in Deep Creek, north of the tournament site, on the river’s east bank. He chose this artery because its 20-plus-foot depths offered greater stability than shallower areas. — Bassmasters

Friends, family, and fans joined Justin Cooper in celebrating his first Bass Pro Tour event win at B&W Trailer Hitches Stage 1 Presented by Power-Pole.
It was a hard-fought battle for the Louisianan angler as he and Colby Miller were neck-and-neck until the very end. For a moment, Miller had claimed the No. 1 spot on SCORETRACKER® but a last-minute 1-pound, 10-ouncer pushed Cooper back on top with 78-5 on 34 scorable bass to Miller’s 77-4 on 35 scoreable bass.
Cooper and the rest of the Top 10 anglers hit the stage for the Post Game Show to share their thoughts on the first event of the 2025 Bass Pro Tour season before Cooper was presented with his trophy and $150,000 grand prize. —MLF

Across a decorated 17-year career that includes a REDCREST victory, one of the few accomplishments that had eluded Bobby Lane was a national-tour win in Florida. He’d come close – in fact, the last time the Bass Pro Tour visited the Harris Chain of Lakes, Lane finished second to Ott DeFoe – but had yet to lift a trophy in his home state.
Midway through the Championship Round at Suzuki Marine Stage 2 Presented by YETI at the Harris Chain of Lakes, it looked like Lane would have to keep waiting.
Matt Becker and Mark Davis shot out of the starting blocks, both amassing more than 30 pounds in the first period. Lane, meanwhile, started on the opposite end of Lake Apopka from where he’d caught most of his fish due to the strong south wind and struggled to gain traction. Halfway through Period 2, he’d tallied just 17 pounds, 6 ounces and trailed Davis by more than 20 pounds – and as the wind continued to increase in intensity, presenting baits and generating bites became more difficult by the minute. — MLF
