The Lakeridge Laker Taker Champion Has Been Named!

The fish were biting, the competition fierce, and now the title of the Lakeridge Lake Taker belongs to one lucky angler!

The Lakeridge Lodging and Bait Shop Laker Taker Fishing Contest on Fort Peck has wrapped up, and they have a winner! Levi Ross rose above the rest to claim the top spot with a 14.75-pounder—while also winning a 44″ mag med HDS Laker Ice Rod (pictured above) and some pretty cool bragging rights. The battle ended yesterday, crowning this year’s undisputed champion of the deep.

Congratulations, Levi!
