It was great to see everyone at the tournament! Congratulations to Doug and Brian, Jeff and Jonny, Redge and ?, and the two other teams in the top 5 that I didn't get to meet. After pre fishing for a few hours on two different days, I was convinced 6-6.5 lbs would win it. I was wrong. I don't have a picture of the board, but the top 5 teams had some phenomenal weights for the conditions. I had a blast getting to fish with Chris Buck, and got to hang out with Darrell and Sheryl on a new lake. Sometimes you learn more when you struggle than when it comes easy, and I learned a lot.

I would like to thank Brian and Doug for putting on this tournament and Crappie.com. Congratulations to Brian and Doug for their 1st win and Big fish. Any fish over 2 lbs is a pretty good anywhere you fish. I would also like to thank all the sponsors for their generous donations to the Crappie.com Oklahoma tournament circuit. It was a real pleasure to see some old faces and to meet and see some new ones. I know I haven't fished any tournaments since the very first year they put them on, but I may be able to fish a few more this year. Great tournament and great people to be around.

Some good weights for how tuff it was Thursday/Friday when I was trying to catch a few fish. Had boat problems so I went back home Saturday morning to get a few Mother's Day points to be used at a later date.

I was like Jamie, I didn't think anyone would break 9lbs. Good job Brian/Doug

Well, going in I knew it would be tuff for Nip and me. I have no days just prior to any gig, let alone on a lake as beautiful as Killer. I had gone down the weekend before and never took my eyes off the screen (never wet a hook, just looked). Thanks to Jeff and Johnnie for slowing down enough to get our attention. They led us up the river quite a ways and then Jeff mooned us and claimed we were on our own! LOL. Had a great day with a great group of people. Thanks and congrats to Brian and Doug, they earned it! 6 more pounds is all we needed to stick this one! And thanks Nip for the stitches!

I was just setting the hook on anything that moved!

Anyone get a pic of the jet black crappie Johnny caught?

Congrats Brian and Doug and the other winners! The lake sure humbled me and dad, but it sure was good to see everybody again.

Congrats to Brian/Doug!! Sure enjoyed seeing everyone. I am surprised there weren't more fish over 2# caught.
One note about this being a great group of people. We had motor issues late Friday afternoon, was offered a boat and Jeff and Jobnny were ready to come wrench on it!! Thankfully C & R marine got me all fixed up in about 15 minutes.

What a great group of people we have!!

Thanks to the Sponsors, and Big Reds for opening early for us.

I have to "second" Redge's comments about great group of people. I also had problems up on the river Friday, my prop hub gave up could only go bout 4mph without it slipping. Ran into Jeff & Johnny they offered to pull me in but I told them I thought I could make it back to Elk. They said call us if you need help. Great guys!
