Would you believe I caught my first crappie of the year today in the snow. I was a 8 pounder out of a pond in a Louisville area park in the west end. You did say honor system didn't you. I would show you a pic but the white snow of death was to thick and my pictures didn't come out. Ha Ha
If thats your story,stick to it !! I thought it would be fun to see some other water catches on here? Not that I will have any trophy fish but others may bragg!!
C. Pappy has already set up the site!
Good luck to All!

Great idea Rowdy. Count me in!~
that's where ya'll need to put your tourney PICTURES :p
I'm also interested in seeing what some of the waters of KY can produce. I haven't fished them ALL, and even the ones I have fished before ... I haven't fished them much, in several years. I'm just hoping this will give me, & others, some incentive to try some new waters. And, if not, at least they'll show what their home waters can produce.
We're not expecting KY Master Angler Citation sized fish ...
Size/weight is relative to the body of water it came from ... so don't be shy about posting a pic of a decent sized Crappie, even if it ain't a 2lb+ fish. ;)
(and, if you do catch a trophy size fish, or even a real good'un -- post a pic in the "Big Fish Pictures" thread, too !! )
... cp :cool:
Be interesting to see when the first pic pops up on the for the 2010 slabathon, hopefully it'll warm up soon an some folks can get out! Curious to see how this honor system works myself....lol We are dealing with fishermen ya know..... I see jigboy already is leading for bigfish honors!!
It is big fish for each lake, I fish Nolin 90 % of the time and a 1.5 is a good one here!!!!
Rowdy
That is no lie on the 1.5 on nolin. I fish it about the same 90%.
That's what we're looking for ... a fish that's "BIG" for the waters it was caught from ;)Quote:

We don't want to set any limits or parameters, on what constitutes a tourney worthy sized fish .... and we don't want to compare size/weight of any fish from different waters. What we want is pictures of the big fish that members caught from "each" of the many different waters of the state ... whether it's a lake, stream, pond, reservoir, river, strip pit, or whatever. That's why we want members to post "where" the fish was caught, as well as how big it was.
Remember .... while lakes like KY/Barkley, Cumberland, Dale, and some of the larger waters of the state produce some "big" fish ... the state record Crappie was caught from a watershed lake in Christian County ;) (which is right next door to Barkley & KY Lake)

here's the KDFWR 2010 Fishing Forecast :

This might help us define what a "big" fish is, considering the waters it comes from ;)
While most of the waters listed, show Crappie fishing to be "fair" ... and sizes & numbers are low in many cases ... it only makes it more exciting to catch a big 'ol goodun from those waters :p

Hello all. I am brand new to this site and have been a crappie.com viewer for some time, but finally took the time to register. I am pretty new to the crappie fishing and am eager to learn anything i can. I used to mainly bass fish, but i am getting addicted to crappie fishing. Taylorsville is my primary lake, so i thought i would post some 2009 pics of a couple of crappie i caught there. Hopefully i will have something to contribute to the 2010 tourney thread. http://www.kentuckyhunting.net/forum...pictureid=1509
