Raymond Trudeau Wins on Toho

January 4, 2025 – Kissimmee, Florida – Raymond Trudeau secured a commanding first-place finish at the American Fishing Tour (AFT) Division 21 tournament, held on the renowned Kissimmee Chain of Lakes. The event attracted a competitive field of anglers vying for cash prizes and crucial divisional and national points.

Trudeau clinched victory with the tournament’s only five-fish limit, weighing in at 7.61 pounds on a challenging day of fishing. Unseasonably cold weather leading up to the event dropped water temperatures significantly, testing the anglers’ adaptability and skill. Trudeau’s performance earned him the first-place cash prize of $640.00.

In a closely contested second place, David Kilbury brought in a total weight of 7.34 pounds, earning him $389.00. Kilbury also claimed the Biggest Bass award with an impressive 3.93-pound catch, adding a $500.00 bonus to his winnings.

Third place went to Daniel Weber, who weighed in 6.64 pounds and received $101.00, while Frank Mitchum’s fourth-place effort of 4.94 pounds netted him $72.00. Additional noteworthy performances included James Hoctor in fifth place with 4.06 pounds and Donald Tripoli in sixth place with 3.27 pounds, underscoring the competitive spirit of the tournament.
