These guys. Incredible accomplishment to compete at the State Tournament - with about 800 MN Jr Bass Nation anglers, this is the best of the best! So proud of each team and what they put together - all season and this weekend! We had the time of our lives 🥲

Last night we launched 22 boats for a fun community event! Our AMAZING team anglers and their families took out kids who were interested in learning about and experiencing our fishing team. Thanks to all who came out last night! This team is the best. 🙌

In-house on the St Croix last night…more pictures of the river than the fish caught 🤣 We’ll be back for revenge! 😈

Can’t believe it was already time for Frankie’s Annual High School Tournament! 🤯 After some delay on Saturday due to weather, teams from across the area got two epic hours of fishing in on Chisago. Our teams represented well across the board. Shout out to Wyatt and James for FIRST place and BIG BASS, Ryan and Joe for THIRD place, and Wyatt and Colton for FIFTH place. Lots of hardware to show 💪 Thank you Frankie's Live Bait & Marine for such a fun derby!

Recognize these hammers? 🔨🔨🔨 Sam McCafferty and Brady Bilbrey just completed in their 5th Musky State Tournament!

It's a bad day to be a musky when these guys hit the water. ☠️ Despite an amazing practice the boys fell just shy of re-claiming the state title this year but we're proud of them nonetheless!!

Congratulations!!

Shout out to Troy Bilbrey for being an amazing boat captain and an even better chef! 👨‍🍳
