Now even though most agree that tourney fishing is not for most of us I feel like a jerk for making my post. I'm sure that camaraderie (thanks for spellin that for me CEB) was ultimately in the mind of LR Joe and I want to publicly apologize if I offended him by my post as that was not my intention.

Prior to CEB and myself heading up these fish and eats I spoke with several members of crappie.com who have and are currently heading up there respective crappie clubs. From what I found its a nightmare that takes to much time and effort and ultimately cost freindships and relationships at times. I just dont want to be apart of that. If these fish and eats ultimately lead to a crappie club and some occasional competitive fishing so be it. I will jump in head first and help out if I can, just dont count on me at the weigh in unless I can bring my mother in-law to the scales.
