I justed joined Crappie.com on Sat. It seems like a good place for a lot of info. I hope I can help others as time goes on. I fished with Crappie USA for several years with my father. After he passed away from cancer in 2002 I stopped fished because something was missing. Since that time my son and I have started where my father and I left off. Can anyone tell me if Crappie USA is still like a big family. I sure miss the times we had together. This year I'am going to take my son Jordan and start the family team over. I look forward to the times that we will have on the water. We will fish most if not all of the ternaments in Region 3. Good luck to everyone in the upcoming season. Just remember don't take life for granted because the person you'll miss the most may be seated right beside you. Troy Keen
