Bassmaster Classic 2026 Winner, Final Weigh-in Results and Leaderboard

The Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic concluded on Sunday in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Dozens of fishermen from around the world gathered in Knoxville to fish the Tennessee River over the weekend, but only one walked away with the trophy.

Dylan Nutt, a 23-year-old from Nashville, took home the victory in his home state. He reeled in 15 fish total over the course of three days for a final weight of 66 pounds and 13 ounces.

Here's a look at the final leaderboard.

The runner-up, Trey McKinney, caught 15 fish and recorded a weight of 57 pounds and eight ounces. McKinney led for most of the weigh-in, but Nutt ultimately ended the event on top.

Last year's champion, Easton Fothergill, was in the mix until the final day, when he had his worst day of fishing. Still, he managed to land inside the top four.

Yui Aoki travelled all the way to Knoxville from Minamitsurugun, Japan, and his journey was well worth it as he finished third. The 26-year-old will look to return to the United States next year and come out on top.

Next year's Bassmaster Classic will take place in Lake Hartwell in Greenville, South Carolina.
