We go done each year, one of our guys caught a crappie weighing 3lb 3oz. Most we catch are 1.5 -2.5lbs. We fish the goose pond area.

It'll just be y'all and your closest 10,000 friends. Get there early if you want a parking spot.

I wonder what Ky Lake averaged per pound winning weight in it's prime? (And I think it will peak again, just saying)

I think what you're seeing is a product of Livescope tournament fishing. It's not that crappie all the sudden just got huge on Lake Guntersville and Santee Cooper. I know the winning team on Guntersville was single pole fishing with a Livescope. They probably fished all day for 10 bites.

Guntersville obviously has some nice crappie, but if you multi pole fish, you have to work to fish it because of the broken up grass that floats EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME. It's a pain to long line if the bite isn't on fire. I spend more time getting vegetation off jigs than I do getting fish off jigs. Spider rigging is more tolerable.
