The FXR Pro Fish Team Had Four Of The Top 25 Anglers In The Classic
[Oak Bluff, Manitoba, CA – 3/27/2025] – FXR Pro Fish is thrilled to announce that Trey McKinney,
one of their premier anglers, secured an impressive second-place finish with 68.7-pounds at the
prestigious 2025 Bassmaster Classic on Lake Ray Roberts in Pilot Point, TX. This remarkable
achievement underscores McKinney’s exceptional skill, continuing his podium streak in the state
of Texas, further cementing his legacy as a professional angler in only his second year as a
professional.
The Bassmaster Classic is often referred to as the “Super Bowl of bass fishing,” drawing top
anglers from across the globe to compete for the coveted title. Over the course of three days,
McKinney demonstrated his precision, adaptability, and deep understanding of the sport,
pushing through tough competition and high winds to land in the runner-up position.
“I’m beyond proud of how this weekend turned out,” said McKinney. “The conditions on Lake
Ray Roberts were tough, but with the support of FXR Pro Fish and the incredible gear they
provide, I was able to stay focused and give it my all. A second-place finish at the Classic in my
first try is a career highlight. I’m already looking forward to next year and my opportunity to try to
win a Classic title in Tennessee.”
McKinney started off the event strong, holding the lead after the first day, but a rough second
day cost him the win for the weekend, but a strong third day with consistent catches gave him
the push to secure the runner up spot and the $50,000 payday. Fellow FXR Pro Fish teammate
and 2024 Classic winner, Justin Hamner, brought home the 10th place finish and a $20,000
payout; followed by Tyler Williams in 14th, and Bryan Schmitt rounding out the roster in 22nd.
Also competing in the field was Cooper Gallant, JT Thompkins, and Logan Parks.
“We couldn’t be more excited for Trey and his performance at this year’s Bassmaster Classic,”
said Chris Meyeraan, Brand Director of FXR Pro Fish. “We’re incredibly proud of our whole
roster of athletes that competed in the event, we had four of the top-25 anglers in FXR Pro Fish
apparel.”
As one of the most respected names in the fishing community, FXR Pro Fish continues to
partner with elite anglers like Trey McKinney and the rest of the team to push the boundaries of
performance and innovation in the sport.
The FXR Pro Fish Anglers will be back in action at round two of the Bassmaster Elite series at
