If I'm not able to compete I sit on the porch. I think it's crazy to pay to enter a Crappie Tournament & you can't boat 7 Itty Bitty Fish... ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE 2 GROWN PEOPLE ON 1 BOAT.. Any thoughts? I find it comical & I say it was a great day for the fish. You can weigh 7 & they not be big I'm cool with that. However, a WHOLE LAKE & YOU THINK YOU ARE TOUGH STUFF & CAN'T BOAT 7 CRAPPIE ESPECIALLY WITH 2 PEOPLE ON THE BOAT. I think you can only fish if you are told where to fish & got cocky on what you catch with that info & on that lake. Do you find it acceptable to not boat 7 Crappie after entering a Crappie Tournament?

It happens to the pros every tournment. Google Crappie Master Tournament Results and scroll to the bottom of any. Here's a Grenada Spring Tournament with over 40 guys without a limit, 28 without a fish to show. Learning new waters and seasonal locations of fish will result in no fish to show until you get it figured out. I've had my share of that. Really was a struggle until I stopped fishing memories (I caught fish here before)
