Slab .... I corrected your post to say "Fall Brawl". We had a Spring Fling & a Fall Brawl at Watts Bar, out of Eden Marina.
Sinkum ... you are correct that these were likely "one of" the first of their kind. They were not "tournaments" in the sense that $$$ was involved, as far as entry fees & payouts. But, they were tournaments as far as major sponsor prizes being given out according to what place you came in. And we had "goodie bags" with smaller items, that were given out to all participants that fished in these events.
I don't remember if the Fall Brawl of 2001 was the "first one" we had, or not, but it certainly would have been "one of" the first .... and they lasted until 2005. I've since revived the Spring Fling event, but it's now on Green River Lake, here in KY. The biggest change is that we don't "weigh in" the fish for placing, but give out the major sponsor prizes by ticket draw to Crappie.com members. We still have the goodie bags & those are given out to everyone that attends, whether they're members or not.
