Maybe someone can poke WSD to post some pics. Poke poke.

WSD-poke poke!

I only have a few pics of some fish we caught. We had a great time down at Wister. Have been there 3 times so far and this was by far the funnest time I have had. We never found a ton of fish but most of the fish we caught were good fish. We did take Big Fish with a 2.42 that Neil landed and it turns out that is his biggest crappie ever. You should of seen him, he was jumping around and smiling and immediately went to his phone to share the news with his wife. He wore a smile the rest of the day and I am sure went to bed smiling. That is one of the reasons I do this. For the friendships, memories and fun. I learned a lot on this trip from WSD and Odie on marking and fishing the stumps. Marked over 300 items on this trip. I can see now with lakes like this, why guys have 10000 way points. We caught fish double dipping the stumps in 7-11' of water. Never caught more then a couple fish at one spot. I tried all sorts of colors and sizes of baits and we had the best luck over 3 days with Franks (G-Daddy) Mo Magic 3" baits in Blue Chip on a Timmy Tom weedless 1/8 head and SlabSlobber. Want to say a big THANKS to the guys at the Fishermans Net for hosting the tourney for us. They opened early, cooked up a good breakfast and then had hot food after tourney for the anglers to enjoy. You dont find businesses that will do that very often. If you are in the area, stop in and say hi. Thanks to everyone who put on tourneys this year and to all those who came out and fished them and made it fun! I look forward to the next trail when it gets put together.

Whew-wee that's a pig right there!

We forgot to give the 2 Huckabee rods, donated by Ken Roberson, away at the Classic. Neil Molina won the first rod as he caught the biggest fish while he was fishing with a Meatdragger rod. I gave Ken all the rest of the names and he drew a name out of the hat and Gaston Hall won. If you 2 guys will contact Ken at 918 629-9715 to make arrangements to get your rods. Thanks again Ken for your great support.

I wanted to congratulate and thank all the people who qualified for the Classic. Thank you to Robert (WSD) for setting up the check in and weigh in site. Special Thank you to the FISHERMAN'S NET for the buffett breakfast and buffett dinner. Thank you to Josh for putting me up Thursday night in his cabin and Robert & Stephanie for letting me stay the night Friday night.

Thanks for the tip from Fishers and Robert that the pattern was stumps off the channel. I spent the majority of Thursday and Friday scanning. I marked over 300 stumps and did very little fishing. Brian and I caught all of our fish on those stumps with the best depth being 10 fow. We also double dipped jigs. I used 2 rods rigged with 1/8 oz Timmy Tom weed less jig heads and Mikes Custom baits in silver/pearl and gold/pearl. Brian used 2 rods rigged with Redneck Rubber jig heads 1/4 oz on bottom and 1/8 oz on top. He used Redneck Rubber gold/pearl and a wasshoppa in pumpkin/pearl. We only caught 15-20 fish but 10 of them weighed over 1.5 lbs, we actually culled 2 fish over 1.5 lbs. This is a very good lake and I sure am glad Robert introduced it to several of us.

I truly enjoy the friendships I have made through Crappie.com. Hope to see several of you on the water soon.

Odie

Great Memories! Congratulations Neil! Great Pictures Josh!

Congratulations to Neil and Gaston! I'm ready to send you the Huckabee rods of your choice. Just give me a call.

Hey josh why did post a picture of my super power!��

:Rofl

Thanks starfish for donating the rods. The bite was weird for me as the fish I caught didn't hammer the jigs as I would have hoped in fact during pre fishing I thought I was hung until my rod tip started to move. One thing I can testify though is that with the pulling rod pulling that crappie out of the brush pile was not a problem. Thanks again to Ken for having these awesome rods. It was also nice to finally put faces to user names. D-street,starfish,dr nip,cpd 21...for helping me with my "skilled" parking job in Gaines creek,wsd ,deer hunter odie among sooo many faces that I came across thus season. I hope we will see each other fishing this winter. I am ready to catch them from the docks!

Hey josh I'm still smiling and me falling asleep and dreaming not exactly my brightest moment in wister:biggrin:fish

Got my new huckabee pro series rod today! Talk about prompt service. Spoke with ken Wednesday afternoon received product Friday afternoon. Great customer service. Thanks Ken. Looking forward to catching crappie this winter with this rod.

That is why we love Huckabee Rods, great rod plus outstanding customer service. EB

Now when is my 7 footer test model coming in? Lol

Congratulations ya'll

And a great guy too

Can't say enough good things about Ken. He has been so good to all of us and went out of his way doing it. Not to mention he is offering us the best crappie rods on the market. Thank you so much for my rod and Dad is tickled pink to win one of the rods from the Classic. Poor slabs don't have a chance with all of us fishing with Huckabee's... thank you so much Ken!

Absolutely....Ken is a great guy and has a great product.....Kay is pretty special too, she will crack you up

Andy

It's a little late but congratulations to all the participants, wish I could have been there to participate (on Wister that would be the extent of it) I need to get down there and figure that place out....if the good Lord willing see you at the next one....congrats to all.

Happy to support with Huckabee rods. Todd has designed a great line-up. You guys are great ambassadors to the crappie industry. Thanks for using them and spreading the word. FYI...the new 7' DINGO rod will leave China in a day or so. Should be available to ship in a couple of weeks.

7' Dingo, loving the sound of that! Any more info other than name? Wish they'd be ready for crappie camp next week.

Gonna have to try one of those Dingos, call me when your ready!!

Me too! It will be my pleasure to discard the Bonehead 7'! Got to support True Okies!

Will soon be giving reviews on the new Huckabee Dingo 7' Rod. I am excited to get one of these rods in my hands, reason being it's a Huckabee. Only expectation I have is a one of a kind Rod just from all the goosebumps the other Huckabee Rods have supplied over the years.......can't think of another rod supplier that I can honesty say has met and exceeded my every expectation.......Ranger

Put me down for one!
