Truman Lake Ultimate Fish Off for Crappie Masters TV

Crappie Master's facebook post:
"Crappie Masters TV will be filming an Ultimate Fish Off show on Truman Lake, Wednesday, June 18th. Team Everharts vs. Team Bucksaw. Weigh in will be at Everharts at 4pm with a fish fry to follow for all anglers and sponsors of the One Pole Ultimate Challenge."

Team Bucksaw will be Jeff Faulkenberry and Eric Moritz fishing against the Everhart's team of Kevin Rogers "Jigging Tournaments" and Jared Fosnow "Jigging15". Kind of a guides vs weekend/tournament anglers. Looks like we will start the day at Bucksaw for the intro and then fish for 6 hours in a undisclosed 3-4 mile stretch of Truman lake. Somewhere between Bucksaw and the 13 hwy bridges. They are going to give us a couple days notice of where we will be fishing. So I will update on here exactly where we will be fishing once I find out. Then we will have the weigh in at our store parking lot in Clinton. They will have the weigh in trailer set up with tents, tables and chairs. I hope we can have a huge turn out to show the city how big crappie fishing is in the community and how much we would like to have Clinton/Truman Lake host another national championship. Looks like from the post on Facebook that Kevin and I are the underdogs in this fish off. So hopefully everyone can make the weigh in or see us on the water to cheer us on.

Who do we root for? Sounds like to might be a close one. I might just root for both that way I might pick a winner.

Yes sir, Kevin's just another weekend angler. It should be fun.:HandsClapping

I upped the life insurance and rearmed the life jacket since I was not sure if Bass Cat had seat belts. So I should be ready for the boat ride with him.

Sounds like a good time! Hope to make it out. Your not going to let Kevin drive the Ranger. I bet he would break it in for ya.

No we will be in his Bass Cat. I am really looking forward to fishing with Kevin. So much can be learned from a day in the boat with a guy with his experience. Not sure there is another team in the country with a tournament record like theirs. I just hope to catch a fish or two to help him out. If not I am pretty good at running the scales and culling fish for the livewell.

Don't know the Bucksaw team and no offense to them, BUT GO TEAM EVERHART!

I'd be willing to bet those will be two hefty stringers, and probably just a few ounces of difference between them.

Sounds like a cool deal... Good luck Jared. I'm sure Kevin will be on some good fish..

Good luck fellas! Wish I could just be a spectator. It's a good time just watching Kevin wheel that Bass Cat around! Hang on tight....what a great way to promote our sport of crappie fishing.

I think there should be some kind of observer or ref in each boat and I volunteer my valuable time, just saying!!:Rofl

Hope you been jogging, because you are going to get a working starting and stopping after a couple pitches at each tree. Good luck.

I know where those guys will be fishing... Hope it works out for you Jared it was nice seeing you at Crappie Camp Tom-Tom is coming down to do the One-Pole with me so I'll probably see you there.... Good Luck.

Seems like the odds are stacked against us, no way in heck a couple of weekend anglers will be able to compete against a full time crappie guide…but we will give it heck! The only thing I can guarantee, is that we burn through $100 of gasoline and get a pretty good work out in.

Anything to support the greatest sport on earth, I appreciate Everharts Outdoors having me represent them.

Good luck guy's, should be interesting.

my oat cant keep up , but do they allow spectator's to follow along???? and what is the distance for courtesy sake??? don't want to crowd ya..

If they gave me an hour head start on where they were going they would have been gone two hours when I arrived.

We need to set this up like a super bowl pot!!! Sell squares that corresponds to weights for $5 a square. Everharts can award some dipping rods and the rest go to a charity...

That Bass Cat must get some good fuel mileage if we are only going to burn a $100 in fuel in 6 hours:dono. Looks like Jeff and Eric are on some good fish. Guess I better go do some scouting down that way in the morning. It is the weekend so time for the weekend warriors to do some fishing:yikes

Kevin won't run his kitty wide open the whole time so you guys can fish a tree or two..lol

😬😬😬. My money is on team Everhart🙏🙏🙏

Spectators are welcome. Hope to see some out there.

Tell them where to be Mike. I won't watch this thread anymore to see until we are officially told where the boundaries are:Rofl

Still no info on where we will be fishing yet and may not be released until we leave Bucksaw that morning. But there could be a new twist to how this will all play out. Stay tuned for more info.

We will announce the fishable waters on Monday evening. There has been an additional team added, Team Martin Metal. This will be a three team event. No more will be added.

Tebo arm would be fun:yikes

Man I wish I could come down for this :(

We found out this afternoon where we will be fishing. We will be restricted to the area between Jackson Branch and U Hwy bridge cove. We will start at 7am and fish until 2:30. Spectators are more than welcome and we would really like to have a good turnout for the filming of the weigh in. The weigh in will be at 4:00 at the Everhart's parking lot.

I am planning to come down sometime in the AM.

We are in favor for team everhart's

I hope them 2 Jiggin' boys are getting some sleep now. Think they may need their strength tomorrow haulin in them bigguns.

I am still awake thinkin about the wind tomorrow. If them rollers look like they are going to come over the toon deck I might just think twice about launching.

Good Luck to all.

Kevin still was not even back in the state when you posted this. He had a very late flight so probably not much sleep if any for him. Not that I got much either. Going to be a fun day and hopefully the fish cooperate. Hope to see some of you on the water and a bunch more at the weigh in.

I was not able to make it down. Can someone post some results and pics?

Congrats to all.

Was a rough day at best. Martin Metal took the trophies and plaques with 7.20 lbs. Bucksaw had 6.75 and we had 6.63. We weighed in a 9" dink. We bounced one of the deck of the boat that was over a lb and would have took is to the lead. Everyone will get to see that on TV. Of coarse the camera boat had to be right there to get it all on film. It was a really fun day and I learned a lot from 6 hours in the boat with Kevin.

congrats. to all, can't wait to see y'alls big dumb butts on the boob tube.

Congrats guys. 3rd place ain't bad at all considering the competition. :)

Those guys had a tough day of fishing with the high muddy water let alone the constant hot wind.
I was glad I went down and saw them on the water and at the weigh in.
Also met some past and new CDC members. Met a nice guy from Sippi that was here for this weekend tourney.

I even talked to the Famous Wyatt again.
Oh! if I dont mention OSS was there:hatchet:
