Excellent event, even though it was kinda last minute. The original event was scheduled for Lake Monroe, but the flooding there after hurricane Ian kinda put a damper on that idea. So Billbob was on his way down anyway; we just rescheduled it last minute to Griffin. Yay
I want to thank everyone for coming, and especially y-slabs and anchorman for supplying the fillets. And Taterlicious too (he could not make it, was sick and did not want to pass it on, but I understand he did pass on some fillets, yay). The fish was awesome, thanks for cooking them up2, and Orion. And all the other plates that were brought. We ate like kings, we really killed it, but we had plenty. Please chime in on what was brought so we can give credit. CG1 brought Cake, Ron brought Deviled Eggs, Oma brought tater salad, Skeet brought Joan’s salad, Shu brought extra special baked beans, Jessica brought Sammiches from Publix and I guarantee I forgot something. Oh I seen an Apple Pie was left too, mmmmm, I don’t know what ever happened to that!!! go figure…
Please chime in as I’m sure I forgot stuff
Oh, the Venison sausage, all spicy and cheesy, was brought to us by BuckeyeCrappie. He provided that to Billbob and I when we stopped in by him in Ohio.

This was a pic we took way early cause some of the members had to leave. Something about babysitting, and a wedding too, I dono. But it sure was great that they were able to stop and chat.

Up2specks got out early.
Up2specks brought his scale, thanks Dougy. But we didn’t need it to determine who had the winning “big fish”. I simply asked for what length their biggest was and we had a tie. Vic and Shu won with both having caught a 12.5 inch crappie. No need for accuracy here, close enough for the contests I choose to run. So they were able to choose the fishing rod of their liking. Yay. Wasn’t a bad day of fishing, wasn’t great either. They had just sprayed all the hydrilla on the south east end of griffin where we were. But some still squeaked out good catches. Loved the even all around, was lots of fun.
And we also had Crappie.com calendars. The 2023 crappie.com calendar Redge made up arrived about one half hour before I left for the event. So everyone got calendars. Oh, I sold Crappie.com hats for a buck each. And somehow I didn’t end up with any money! doh, go figure, no hats left, and no money either, no problem, no worries here…
