Record-Breaking Performance by Faircloth and LeBrun
In an astonishing feat, Todd Faircloth and Nick LeBrun of Team B&W Trailer Hitches showcased their fishing prowess at Cypress Bayou, Louisiana, amassing a remarkable total of 139 pounds, 15 ounces from 77 bass in the first Knockout Match of the Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup. This performance not only secured their victory but also marked the largest margin in history—almost 95 pounds clear of their closest competitors.
A Day to Remember on the Water
On November 19, 2025, Faircloth and LeBrun dominated from the very first period, hauling in an incredible 55 scored bass weighing over 91 pounds. "There’s nothing better than two friends, spot-locked down with the Lowrance Ghost, reeling in a fish on every cast," LeBrun cheerfully exclaimed after their win, highlighting the importance of teamwork and local fishing knowledge.
The Strategy Behind the Success
Utilizing a unique two-crankbait approach, the duo targeted specific hard spots in the typically soft-bottomed Cypress Bayou. LeBrun's use of a chartreuse-and-blue crankbait proved particularly effective, allowing them to tap into schools of eager bass.
Community and Sportsmanship
Not only is fishing about competition; it's about community. Events like the Summit Cup unite fishing enthusiasts, creating shared experiences and memories on the water. With Faircloth and LeBrun advancing to the Championship Round, there is no doubt they have ignited excitement among local fans and fellow anglers.
