Fothergill and Jordan win Redfish Cup Championship

PORT ARANSAS, Texas — Grand Rapids native and world-class angler Easton Fothergill and his partner Clark Jordan took home the top prize of $37,000 after winning the 2026 Yamaha Bassmaster Redfish Cup Championship. They finished second in last year’s Redfish Cup, and earned a redeeming victory Nov. 6-8 with a three-day total weight of 42 pounds even - 4.1 pounds ahead of second place Mike Lauer and Jesse Craddock out on Aransas Bay, Port Aransas, Texas. Fothergill and Jordan’s haul after Day 1 saw them just outside the lead by less than a pound. They overtook the tournament lead after Day 2 and extended it through the end of Day 3. Following the win, Fothergill wrote the story of the team’s redemption himself. Redemption on Redfish Easton Fothergill I had a great time fishing the Bassmaster Redfish Cup Championship at Port Aransas, Texas, and winning the event alongside Clark Jordan was an incredible experience. Clark and I finished second at last year’s event, so to take home the trophy this time felt really good. After last year’s finish, with my competitive nature, I wanted redemption. I wanted to come back and get another shot at it, so to do that

Goodbye Lake Superior, So Long Lake Minnetonka: This Minnesota Gem Is A Freshwater Fishing Paradise

It's not for nothing that Minnesota has been dubbed the "Land of 10,000 Lakes." The North Star State is a fisherman's oasis, with places like Duluth offering access to Lake Superior, while folks in the Twin Cities can escape to Lake Minnetonka. Still, as serene as their natural beauty may be, summer crowding can be an issue. However, if you prefer a secluded fishing retreat off the beaten path and away from Minnesota's major cities, then say goodbye to these two destinations and hello to Little Jessie Lake. This body of water is located in Itasca County, in what is referred to as "Up North" by locals.
