KNOCKOUT SERIES
Apr 1–Oct 28
Like last year, we were able to de-conflict most divisional events, giving everyone plenty of opportunity to go for the 2025 MAKB Angler of the Year title. We’re also trying a new series called the River Rumble Team Series, which takes the place of our Catch ‘Em All Brawl Series. And of course, we’ll have plenty of Tuesday and Thursday Night Throwdowns, plus some Cold Water Series events in the first few and last few months of the year.
We’re also hosting a pre-season event on Webster Lake on March 29. No qualifications, no Angler of the Year points, just fishing, food, and fellowship!
And don’t forget our annual potluck gathering and awards banquet, which will be held at the Bristol Lodge in North Attleboro, 2–6 PM. Everyone is welcome!
It’s gonna be a great season. JOIN NOW!
For those interested in some stats, here you go…
In 2024, we hosted a total of 51 events, including 24 divisional events, one championship, 10 Tuesday/Thursday Night Throwdowns, four Cold Water Series events, eight monthly online challenges, three Catch ‘Em All Brawls, and the Knockout Series.
We awarded $49,893 in payouts throughout the year! Here’s the breakdown:
Eastern Division: $8,784
Western Division: $6,020
Central Division: $9,094
Northern Division: $9,024
Championship: $3,960
Monthly Challenges: $3,936
Catch ‘Em All Brawls: $2,441
Thursday Night Throwdowns: $2,574
Knockout Series: $2,400
Cold Water Series: $2,094
In total, 955 competitors participated across these events (with many competing in multiple events, of course), and 4,397 fish were submitted (excluding the Knockout Series).
The highest number of fish submitted during a divisional event was 225, recorded at the Eastern Division’s Mashpee-Wakeby event. On the other hand, the fewest submissions for a single event were 48, during the Central Division opener at Webster Lake. Ironically, just a week later in 2023, Webster Lake set the record for the year with the highest number of fish submitted in a single event—252!
Collectively, we submitted a total of 18,948.75 inches of bass in 2024 (also excluding the Knockout Series).
The biggest limits of the year:
Northern Division: Patrick Brown – 96.00 (Lake Attitash)
Eastern Division: Ken Wood – 95.00 (Upper/Lower Mill Pond)
Western Division: Ryan Stager – 94.25 (Quaboag Pond)
Central Division: Lee Kennon – 92.75 (Sudbury River)
Monthly Challenge: Benjamin Hallowell – 101.25 (July)
Thursday Night Throwdown: Jerry Howes – 56.50 (Buckley Dunton Reservoir)
Cold Water Series: Matthew Conant – 91.00 (Santuit Pond)

Some other stats:
Lee Kennon, Matthew Conant, and Ken Wood each secured the most divisional wins, with three victories apiece.
Steve Petkevitch led the pack with the most top-five finishes across all divisions, with 11 overall. Close behind were Matthew Conant and Ken Wood, each with 10 top-five finishes, followed by Mike Morcone with nine.
Benjamin Hallowell dominated the online division, with six wins out of 11 events. He also secured a win in the Cold Water Series, earning him the most overall wins across all events.
All in all, it was an incredible year! Fifty-one events—a bit fewer than last year, but still more than enough opportunities for anglers to get out on the water and compete. And now, we’re gearing up for something special: our tenth season next year—the big 1-0!
Thanks to everyone who continues to fish with us; and an even bigger thank-you goes to Kevin Amaral, Jeremey Andrews, Donald Davis, Bruce Levy, Michael Williams, Anthony Campbell, Jonathan Medina, and Patrick Brown, all of whom have played their part in transforming this little trail into something far beyond what we ever imagined.
Enjoy the holidays! We’ll be announcing our 2025 schedules and more very soon.
MAKB jerseys have been updated and are once again available through Thrasher Sports Apparel!
Order yours here!
You have two options to choose from: a standard MAKB jersey with our sponsor logos, or a custom jersey with whatever logos you wish to put on it. You can mix and match logos as well by including some of our sponsors and some of yours.
You are not obligated to include any MAKB sponsor logos on your jersey. You must leave the MAKB logo, of course.
Instructions are on the order page. If you have any questions, please let us know.
A few other important things…
• You must be an active paid member to fish our live or online events. Exceptions to this are our Cold Water Series events and our Knockout Series. All other events require a membership.
• All of our online events are open for registration now (please only buy one ticket for our monthly challenges).
• All of our live events open for registration the Sunday before the event at 7 PM.
As noted when becoming a member, purchasing a membership does not guarantee you a spot in our live events, as we are restricted to how many anglers we can have at each event by state law. So if you want to fish an event, be ready to register at 7 PM the Sunday before the event.
Luckily, with four divisions, we rarely max out events these days. But that will likely change as more and more people join each division.
• If you haven’t already, please utilize our Test Tournament on Fishing Chaos to familiarize yourself with the app. It’ll also give us a chance to verify if your settings are correct and help you fix them if not.
• Lastly, READ THE RULES! All caps. Please read the rules. We do not like disqualifying anglers, deny fish, or deducting length from a submission. When we have to do this, it is usually because someone was not familiar with the rules.
If you have any questions, as always, please reach out.
