2015 Crappiefest in the books

Another awesome Crappiefest with some of the best folks you could ever call friends. I want to Thank each and every one of you that attended this year (and Don "sinkerman") for all the help you give to keep these events going. Thanks for the big turn out today even with the below freezing temps the day started out with. Fish were caught, food was cooked and a fine meal was laid out for everyone to enjoy. I am glad I was able to meet some of our members that I had not had the chance to meet before today.

I'm not sure of the total numbers of people we had today but the one chance I tried to count I lost count at 63 :)
A congrats goes out to all the trophy winners and a big congrats goes out to Burdawg and Bringingblood for a awesome creel weighed in today of 5 fish at a weight of 10 pounds even :ThumbsUp

I am dragging but wanted to get this posted along with the pics I took today before I run out of gas LOL. Look forward to a bigger event next year with our Crappie.com family.

Looks like ya'll had a blast.Not exactly the best weather but looks like ya'll didn't do too bad.

Had a great time. It was nice to meet yall in person.

Me and Allen enjoyed the day too. Crappiefest is always fun even if the weather isnt always the best. I saw alot of nice fish caught today and alot of new faces I havent seen before. It was great talking with all the old friends and also getting to make new friends. I also want to congratulate all the trophy winners today. Anyone that has ever thought about coming to our Crappiefests and havent made any of them yet should make plans for attending next year. If it's too far to pull a boat then just make the weigh-in and meal. Guaranteed....you aint gonna meet and fellowship with a nicer bunch of folks.:)

SORRY I COULDNT MAKE IT TODAY I JUST CANT DEAL WITH THE COLD LIKE I USE TO
GLAD TO HEAR EVERYBODY HAD A GOOD TIME.
HOPE TO BE BACK ON THE WATER REAL SOON GOT SOME NEW JIGS FROM RONNIE AND CANT WAIT TO USE THEM
GRET LOOKING JIGS

I had a blast myself. Nice to finally put a mugshot with some of yalls names. Will definitely be at the next one! Russell put it on me today though! The tree gods definitely got their share of jig offerings from me today. They owe me a full cooler my next trip out!

Thanks for the great pictures.

It looks like a great turn out again this year. It was cold here in Cayce so I know that it had to be cold there. When it comes to fishing, the weather seems to take back seat then. It looks like there was a lot of jaw jacking going on and I bet there were some big tales being told. It looked like the kids were having a great time also.. Crappie get together like this are always fun. I know that I always had a great time when I went to the contests at Watts Bar in Tn. Maybe in the future I'll be able to attend when things change here at home, until them enjoy the times together and tight lines to all.

Looks like everyone had a good time and most caught fish. Sorry I could've be there but there is always next year. I go back to the doc on wed and should get an idea when he is going to turn me loose. Congratulations to all the winners and also those that stuck out the cold day to participate.

Looks like it was a good day of fun with good fishing. With a turn out like that you know their were stores about the ones that got away. wish I could have been their.

Looks like you all had a great time and a good turnout despite the weather. Congrats to all the winners. I'll make it to one of your events yet. Just get some better weather maybe and I will! doh

A big thank you to goes out to all that makes these events possible .thanks to all that donated prizes the cooks the ones that brought supplies .good seeing old members an new members

Shout out to Ronnie, Butch, William and all who organized, donated gifts and prizes. Congrats to the other winners and to all who came out! Y'all made this one of the best attended events in the past 7 years. I enjoyed talking to old friends and meeting some of the newer members. I have made some good friends over the years and thankful to be a small part in the Crappie.com gang. Also, thanks to Bringingblood for netting my big fish and not knocking it off as he sometimes does. Thanks to Jiggs for bringing the "Cake", also. William, we owed you that one.... :)

I just wanted to add my thanks to everyone who attended and helped make our CrappieFest a great success once again. I had a great time fishing with my stepson Matthew, and he is anxious to come back next year to see if we can edge out Burdawg and Bringblood...although I think their catch yesterday would have won a national tournament... We all had a great time and hope everyone reading can make it out to our next one!

Here are a few more picks from the ATL crew. Hope to bring more folks up next year!

Thanks to everyone that made crappiefest a Success. Had a blast and can't wait tell next time!!

Glad everyone had A GREAT TIME!! Congratulations to all! I really need to make it to Lake Russell one of these days. Ronnie, Butch and the rest of the gang plus the ones who did donations, thanks for such a wonderful event. We are lucky to have y'all as our group organizer. Even though I could not make this one I have been to one and I could see that their is a lot of work involved. Ronnie thanks for sharing the pics and the fishing results. Mark


PS: Icookie that is one pretty young lady, tell her congratulations on her trophy!

Looks like everybody had a great time.Congrats to the winners.Hope to be able to join yall next year.

Well the weather was a bit off. But that brings out the best. And burdawg and bringinblood proved that. Congratulations to all the winners. Thanks to everyone that made it possible. A great turnout for sure. Met some new faces and some old ones. Great to meet everyone. The grandaughter said she was comin back till we got one of them big trophys. Sounds good to me. My crew enjoyed the meeting and greeting but was a little unhappy bout the cold. But they had fun. Aint everyday the kid catches a bottom feeder on a minner. Least she caught something to show off. She is already back in Tennessee talkin trash to the other kids. Thanks again to all.

congrats to all the winners and to ronnie butch and William for the great event its all ways a great one also big thanks to the cooks yall did a great job cant wait to get the fall event stared ever one have a great summer and a safe one

From team Remus to all of you thanks for the hospitality given to us, we really enjoyed it. Bug has ask if we can go again and if possible we will be back. Thanks to everyone who put this together and all the prizes plus food. To the winners watch out we know more about the lake now than we did going into this blind. LOL
We had a good time thanks.:biggrin

Really hated to miss this one. I told my buddy who put the Florida trip together I wanted to go later next year. He said the only reason was that Easter is early this year and the resort is slammed from Easter on so we went before it got crazy. Hate to see it more crowded than what we saw but in the everglades we seldom see another boat.
Thanks to Ronnie and the gang for putting it on, I know everyone had a great time.
Hope to make the fall event.

Becky and I had a great time fishing and appreciate all that you guys put together. Sorry I had to leave before the food!
