Getting me anxious already. Now I'm going to have to start studying Missouri lakes and visiting them in addition to several Illinois lakes I've never been on.
Last night in the chat room I talk to Barry (Ranger375) about some of our board folks talking about having a fun crappie tournament some time. As we talked he ask if their would be in interest in a MO board vs IL board crappie tournament or tournaments. We both said we would post it and see what kind of interest we got.

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.

Then I posted this later that night (just my first thoughts, nothing set in stone)
I think a 2 tournaments would be the way to go. Each board make a list of people interest with there home lakes and also a list of other lakes a tournament could be held. With the visiting board choosing the lake. This would keep things fair for both sides. I know my wife would help with the fish fry. We would come to camp for the weekend more than likely.

Sounds good to me.
Lets have it somewhere that we can catch some fish, (translated; Missouri.) LOL.
I'll be glad to help out any way I can.
'Carpe Diem' does not mean "fish of the day."
I am game! I think 1 in each state would be the best, gives each state a good shot on home waters. Also that way we could see which state does have the best fishing!

"Give me crappie, or give me death"
Wow..the tournament is just in the earliest stages of planning and Crappie Attitude is talking trash already...LOL...this could be fun.
I have a 5lb digital scale, might be able to get my hands on a 20 lb scale to weigh the fish.
