CONROE, Texas – Friends, family, and fans joined Justin Cooper in celebrating his first Bass Pro Tour event win at B&W Trailer Hitches Stage 1 Presented by Power-Pole.
It was a hard-fought battle for the Louisianan angler as he and Colby Miller were neck-and-neck until the very end. For a moment, Miller had claimed the No. 1 spot on SCORETRACKER® but a last-minute 1-pound, 10-ouncer pushed Cooper back on top with 78-5 on 34 scorable bass to Miller’s 77-4 on 35 scoreable bass.
Cooper and the rest of the Top 10 anglers hit the stage for the Post Game Show to share their thoughts on the first event of the 2025 Bass Pro Tour season before Cooper was presented with his trophy and $150,000 grand prize.
Bass Pro Tour action will resume Feb. 13-16 with Stage 2 at the Harris Chain of Lakes in Leesburg, Florida.
