Congratulations to Kyle Welcher on a Historic Win at the Pasquotank River! Team Dakota Lithium had a powerful showing this week, led by Kyle Welcher, who delivered a dominating performance with a record-breaking 45-pound, 7-ounce margin of victory. We’re also proud to celebrate strong finishes from Logan Parks, who secured 12th place, Jay Przekurat in 15th, and Austin Felix in 16th—each earning a spot in the top 20 and representing Team Dakota Lithium with grit and determination.
This week’s event pushed every angler to their limits—navigating unfamiliar waters, battling brutal winds, and making long, challenging runs. Through it all, our team could count on the unmatched reliability and power of Dakota Lithium to keep them going, every cast of the way.

The 2025 Rookie Class has once again taken the Elite Series by storm, proving they’re not just here for the experience—they’re here to compete. Leading the charge is Tucker Smith, who’s delivered three consistent finishes so far this season. Hot on his heels is Paul Marks, showing impressive form and keeping the pressure high. With talent stacked across the board, this year’s race is shaping up to be another nail-biter all the way to the finish.
We also want to give a big shoutout to reigning Dakota Lithium Rookie of the Year, Trey McKinney, for his incredible 3rd place finish on the Pasquotank River. His momentum is still going strong, and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the season brings.
