I just got back from emceeing the awards for the 2025 HUK Big Fish Classic and it was an absolute blast. I'm still shocked that scales closed at 8:15 with 81 of 89 boats fishing Saturday into Sunday, but things went very, very smoothly and fishing was relatively slow overall this weekend. Congratulations to tournament directors John Lewis, Stephen Lewis, Sean Welsh and Brian Roberts for another successful tournament, and congratulations to all of the winners! Here are your winners.
