A huge congratulations is in order for our guy, Dillon Falardeau, for winning the Bassmaster Opens event at Upper Chesapeake Bay, and in the process, actualized a decades-enduring dream and punched his ticket to the Bassmaster Classic!
Dillon had a strong day one, finding the fish he needed and ended up leading wire-to-wire, completing the three days with a 62lb 13oz bag and a hoisting the trophy above his head! We'd say that's not too shabby from someone who doesn't typically fish tidal fisheries. We could not be more stoked for him!
On behalf of the entire Cast Fam, we'd like to salute and congratulate Dillon on such an amazing achievement, and we need everyone who reads this blog post, follows us, cares about Bass fishing to rally around Dillon as he continues to build on his 2025 tournament campaign and gears up for the Bassmaster Classic! Dillon Falardeau, Bassmaster Classic Champion... that has a nice ring to it... just saying.
