True to our tradition, this year the "Best Sportfisherman on Vasi Vizeken" competition series started in Kerkafalva, Zala County, on the picturesque Kéhhatár Lake. The first round, the Vasi Vizeken–Garbolino–TackleBait Kéhhatár Lake Cup, already indicated in the number of entries: the popularity of the series is unbroken. The places were filled quickly, and in the end 54 anglers lined up for the start in three categories: 19 competitors, 26 hobby anglers and 9 youth entrants compared their skills.

The 2025 Vasi Vizeken Competition Series has begun.

After the morning opening ceremony, the lakeside already evoked a festive atmosphere. Thanks to the exemplary work of the local fishing association, clean, well-maintained fishing spots awaited the participants. At the official opening of the competition , Norbert Puskás, the executive chairman of the Association, and Kálmán Nemes, the chairman of the Kéthátar-tó HE, greeted the participants. After the technical briefing, the draw was held with the assistance of József Mesterházy, the head of the fish management and fish protection group , which filled the lakeside with excited anticipation.

The competitors were divided into two sectors, the hobby anglers into three, and the youth competitors into one sector. After the places were taken, the preparation began: after rigging, bait limits, and mandatory checks, the four-hour competition began with a horn.

In the past month and a half, 1150 kilograms of carp have been caught in the lake, and the catches were not abundant this time. In the first few hours, only a few larger carp or whitefish were caught, so the participants had to struggle not only with catching fish, but also with patience. As usual, Lake Kéthatár presented the anglers with serious challenges. The organizers, together with the local association, are planning a fish stock survey and further fishing trips this year, so that not only the magic of the location but also the fishing experiences will become even richer during the competitions.

However, the weather made up for the field: true May 1st sunshine and good spirits permeated the lakeshore. The anglers helped each other in a friendly atmosphere, chatted, and despite the modest catches, they had great experiences.
