Sounds like a lot of fun. Would it be best to do two tournaments? Maybe one in Illinois and one in Missouri, just to keep things fair.
On the chat room there was mention of folks on the Missouri board wanting to have some crappie tournaments this year. I wonder about having a combined missouri/illinois tournament(s).
Would like to hear your input about this idea. Would be a fun tournament with bragging rights most likely. Would plan on having fish fry after the tournament(s). Want to keep fees to a minumum to pay for trophy and any expenses related to the fish fry.
Let's hear what you think and how you'd like to see it set up.

Sounds fun and I think Busman's idea is a good one

My soon to be ex-wife calls me a CrappieHead
That's a good idea of visiting team choosing lake. I like that idea.
I have been reading the Missouri board and they are sure a fiesty bunch..if they catch crappie as good as they say they do I may have to bend the rules to have even half a chance. My wife is my usual fishing buddy but if the Missouri fishing date is one I can attend I may have to leave my wife at home and hire a local Missouri crappie guide to be my partner for that day..LOL
Say, um, isn't their some umm common ground for you guys to meet at in the middle right here in Iowa? Maybe say like at Lake rathbun? I'd prolly come down fer it too, seeun's if I'm invited en all. :DOriginally Posted by Ranger375
