Well c.com was represented at the tournament today, and my boat took home the biggest crappie trophy, my lady veteran caught that. It was 1.12, and that was good enough to win it. Of course we only had 4 boats fishing for crappie, 45 boaters gave there time and only 4 were for crappie, we gotta get some more boats out there fishing for crappie next year, we had a blast.Attachment 159990
It was a blast today!!! Thanks again to Crappietuttle, Feel-n-Crappie and Extreme Fishing Concepts (Maynard and Jason) for coming out today. I agree we need to get some more crappie boats involved. These guys and gals were so excited this morning I think they were ready to fish more than us. This event is getting bigger every year. We have a list of boaters that have already signed up for sure next year. We had 2 crappie boats last year and 4 this year the pattern seems to be doubling every year so lets try to get 8 boats next year!!!!Again thanks to those who participated today. CrappieTuttle I know you had one happy fisherman on you boat today it was awesome to see her catch that fish and the look on her face when she seen that fish!!!! We should be having something on Fox 8 and you can also go to the Operation North State Facebook page and see the pic. They should all be loaded with in a day or 2.
Way to go guys, if everybody had smiles like you two, then everyone had a good time.
Good job wish they had a wounded warrior tournament soon in Kentucky
careful what you ask for my buddy Shane1980 can probably get you hooked up with the right people to get on started in your area, this thing is growing every year, we just gotta get more c.c members involved.Quote:

Thanks JordanLimit will do. This event is getting bigger and better every year!!
Now you are officially retired you can keep us no fishing wanabees informed... lol....Been great working with you my friend ,now you and that grandson can show us how it's done !
That is a mighty good thing you all are doing the Vets. I commend you on your willing to do this. :highfive
Id like to get in on one the Wounded Warrior project is a great program. I fully support it and would enjoy giving back any way I could. Barkley or Kentucky lake would be a great place that have some real good fish. I had a really good two week trip down there with quite a few crappie at 2 pounds or better.
its all about supporting and giving back to these guys and gals as they have done more for us that we will ever know about. Its worth every minute when you see the look on some of their faces when the catch their first big crappie or bass. Most of them don't care about the fish as much as making new friends and the memories. I cant wait until next year!!!
I had a great time and truly enjoyed taking out a fellow veteran fishing for the day. CT beat us out by 2 ounces for the big fish, although Badin has much bigger crappie than this. By the end of the day everyone was joking and laughing and having a great time. The weather was great, little wind and a good meal at the fire station when it was over. I will be there again next year.
More support from the crappie.com folks would make it much better next year. Need to show those Green Carp fisherman how its done! Maybe even do a fish fry at the end of the event next year.
If Shane can get us in touch with the right folks my brother (Taking Crappie) in Pa. would like to get something going up there.
