My dad and I fished the CrappieUSA tournament this weekend at Patoka. The tournament was a lot fun and it was fun meeting some other anglers I talk to here on Crappie.com a lot. Now here's a funny one for you...
We went to weigh in our fish at the weigh site. Our final weight was .94 lbs of fish Now I know that isn't a bad crappie and would not have been embarrassed to weigh in 1 fish that weighed that. But that was 7 fish !!! And we went through 20 fish to get those 7 !
Fishing was tough for Dad and I this first tournament. But we were in tears on the ride home talking about 7 fish that weighed less then a pound. There should be a prize for that one!
After getting home, I went out back and casted a few times into my pond and caught 2 crappie that both weighed a pound a piece and began to laugh again until tears were flowing. What a story for our first tournament.
