Miklós Seregi , the president of the Vas County Association of Sport Fishing Associations, greeted the participants, invited guests, competitors, and the owner of the Tacklebait Fishing Store, the main supporter of the competition series. He then asked Norbert Puskás , the executive president of the Vas County Association of Sport Fishing Associations, to summarize the most important results of this year's competition series.

The 2023 competition series started for the fourteenth time in Gersekarát in April, then continued with the Kéthatár-tó Cup in Kerkaval on Labor Day, which was followed by the Abért-tó Cup in mid-May. On June 18, the final competition for the hobby participants was held in Magyarszecsőd, while the "fight" for the competitors ended with the two rounds of the Lukácsház County Individual and Team Championships in September.

In both categories, it was necessary to participate in at least 3 rounds in order for the results of the angler to be evaluated in the competition series. Only the results of the members of the member organizations of the Vas County Fishing Association were included in the overall evaluation. In the case of the same score, the fourth/fifth best score was used to determine the final result, in the event of further equality, the weight of the overall score was the deciding factor. A total of 45 people participated in the 4 rounds announced for hobby adults and youth. For competitors, there were a total of 21 point-scoring starters in the 5 rounds.

Allow me to express my gratitude to the sponsor of the competition series, BNT Business and Trading Kft., which distributes the Garbolino – TackleBait brand, before continuing with the detailed presentation of the results of the competition. Thanks to the cooperation with the company, the most successful competitors in our fishing competitions were enriched with valuable gift vouchers in addition to cups and medals, as will be the case today. Thank you for your support!” - said Norbert Puskás , then invited Miklós Seregi, president of the Vas County Association of Sport Fishing Associations, as well as vice-president László Laki and Tibor Geröly, to present the prizes of the competition series.

In the adult hobby category, there was a tie for third place between Gábor Szabó and Tihamér Szabó , but the result of the fourth ranking competition was better for Gábor Szabó (Spartacus HE.) , so he became the bronze medalist this time. Last year's champion Tibor Pajtli (Spartacus HE.) finished second with 62 points thanks to a strong race. In the year 2023, the best sport angler of Vas county in the hobby adult category was Zoltán Töreki (Répcelaki HE.) with 75 points, who performed at a high level throughout, as evidenced by the three sector first places and one sector third place in the four competitions.

In the competitive category, the championship was even tighter than usual. Only 6.5 points separated the first and seventh place, and the first four finished within 3.5 points of each other. Kádi Szabolcs and Gábor Tordai finished third and second respectively. The two 62-point competitors were decided by a single sector ranking. Szabolcs's 4th best result was 5th in a sector, while his competitor's 6th place in a sector. As a result, the bronze medalist of the competition series was Gábor Tordai (Elektromosok SHE.), and the silver medalist was Kádi Szabolcs (Elektromosok SHE.) . Gábor Hajba (Elektromosok SHE.) was the winner of the 2023 competition series called Best Sport Angler in Vasi Vize with 64.5 points. Gábor deserves all the praise, since, with the exception of the Abért-tó cup, he did not fish worse than sector three in any of the rounds, so he fully deserved his first place.

The ifik competition brought an exciting sibling rivalry. The work of the Bálint brothers was made more difficult by Áron Hajós (Körmendi Munkás HE.) , but despite all his efforts, he was able to finish third this time with 52 points. Thus, as it turned out, the Bálint brothers finally decided the championship race between themselves, at the end of which the little one crushed the big one, also by a little bit. Zsolt Bálint (Körmendi Munkás HE.) finished second with 57 points, his younger brother Dávid Bálint (Körmendi Munkás HE.) finished first with 58 points and won the winner's cup.
