The third point event on the 2025 season marked the return of the New Jersey Bass Federation to a lake last visited more than 10 years ago. Greenwood Lake, which borders New Jersey and New York is an enigmatic fishery that holds both goof populations of largemouth and smallmouth bass. However, those fish, especially the larger ones, have high fish IQs, and catching a big five-fish weight is challenging. Nevertheless, the 22 participating teams found the bass generally biting on a day marked by unusual cool conditions in the morning and seasonable summer temperatures in the afternoon. 

The winning team made it look easy. That team, consisting of Scott Weiland and Joe Sodora weighed in a solid five-fish limit of 14.76 pounds, almost two pounds ahead of their nearest competitors. For their victory, the team received $2,200. Taking their second consecutive second-place was the team of Mike Keller and Derick Olson. That team’s five-fish limit went 12.93 pounds and was worth $1,150. Just barely behind with 12.67 pounds was the team of Mike Maloney and C.J. Tuite. That team received $650. The big fish for the event, a 3.55 pound largemouth was caught by the team of Brian Wittig and Mike Lee, and was worth $440. 
The last point event of the season is July 27 on Lake Hopatcong.
