Tournament Summary/Crappie Masters

[CrappiePro]

Guys after a 8 lb first day, we came back with a strong second day weighing in 11.25lbs and a total of 19.26 lbs for the tourney and 16th place. We used Meatgetter Jigs/Spanky, Lake Fork, and Bobby Garland Slab Slayers to catch all our fish off brush in 7-10 feet of water. It was a great Tourney to be apart of. We did do well enough to Qualify for the Classic at Tom Bigbee, Columbus MS Oct 3-6th this is my third National Qualify with Crappie Masters, so I will be taking Meatgetter Jigs and The Dark Angel to the National Classic this year. Congrats to the three Arkansas teams top three sweep. Guys Crappie Masters will be having a one Pole Challenge STATE CHAMPIONSHIP ON LAKE CONWAY NEXT SPRING, ALSO IN 2014 THEY ARE PLANNING ON BRINGING THE NATIONAL CLASSIC TO LAKE DARDANELLE IN 2014. There was a great Crowd at DARDANELLE TODAY. Day one killed us but I was proud of me and my brothers effort on the water. Cant wait to go fish the Classic on Tom Bigbee. The Dardanelle Tourney will be aired on NBC Sports and CrappieMaster TV on direct and dish cable.Tight lines Guys and thank to all you guys who were cheering us on, we gave her heck out there but a constant one lb fish bite wore us out on day one.

Congratulations on a job well done. You know that that 1lb fish bite is great on any day and is adequate on alot of tournament days. To come back with 11lbs on day two is awesome. Again, congratulations and it does make me feel some better about the jeep thing. We'll be cheering for you and our other C.Com buds on the upcoming tournaments. Thanks for the great report.
