I can vouch for these Slabfest here in Georgia. These events are some of the greatest events that you will ever attend. Its a bunch of crappie fishermen and their families having fun and fellowship. No money involved except for the trophies which is around 50 or 60 dollars. I will vouch for "chuckauten". This man is a really nice man that also loves the sport of crappie fishing. You will definatyely leaves these events with a lifetime of memories and new friends.
