Winter has a grip on my neck of the woods well in advance of the actual season arriving. As such, I am confident that no more bass will be added to my fishing log for 2025. Therefore, I have elected to start my 2025 fishing wrap-ups ahead of schedule instead of waiting until after the New Year.

In doing so, it allows me to incorporate the old “12 Days of Christmas” approach with a bit of a fishing advent calendar mixed in. For this project, the countdown will consist of twelve lure types as that was the tally on how many fooled the 359 bass I landed in 2025. (Note: several lure types contained multiple lures within the designation, and they will all be included).

So, stay tuned for the lure recap from the first day to the twelfth day working up from the lures that caught the least bass to the Top Lure of 2025. The posts will feature stats, comments, history, catch video, and a parting shot. Tune in for the next twelve days. Talk to you later. Troy
