Thread: Just for Fun Tourney

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 !! )

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!!!!

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

Now, while I've caught Crappie in the 2lb+ range, from several state waters, I haven't caught anything near that big from ALL the lakes/waters that I fish. A 12" Crappie from Taylorsville or Cedar Creek, would qualify for a "big" fish ... from those waters, for me anyway :p

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
