Has anyone ever thought about doing something with crappie fishing like turkey hunters do called a Grand Slam? Was driving yesterday thinking, If you caught a 3 pounder out of each of the Big 4 in the same calendar year and call it a Touchdown! (touchdown because football has 4 quarters)
Thoughts?
Just my thoughts, Dirt. But I don't it's doable in a year....not with our changing weather and lake levels and distance between Grenada and Butla. Definitely a challenge @

Here in the Smoky Mountains, catching a Rainbow, Brown, and Brook Trout in the same day is known as a Grand Slam. This has nothing to do with what you posted, but I’m getting stir crazy from all the rain! :dono
It would be tuff but 3 out of the 4 could be done most likely, a 3 pounder on Enid is a STUD for that lake. The other 3 could do it in a spring but you would have to be big time focussed and devote some major time to it.
Rees nailed it!

im still trying to catch my 1st 3 pounder and i been fishing over 25 years, mainly Sardis Lake.
I would call it a Miracle ..If they are weighed, and verifies
Fishing for big fish is different than just fishing, if I were honestly fishing with my sights set on a 3 pound fish chances are I would not catch many fish that day unless they all were good fish.Quote:

On Sardis I have a couple of places that I go to with bigger fish in mind, at Enid I'm lost, at Arkabutla as well.
I do believe that the best shot you have at a 3 pounder without a lot of lake knowledge is at Grenada when the lake is at 210 or lower, 222 like it was last year made it extremely hard.
Get enough pressure as is, don't offer nobody an award or nothing. Yankees be quitting there jobs in droves and spending every dime just to get a plague, then when they broke and busted who's gonna feed them? :Rofl
Wow...never even thought of that before. It's possible for sure, but you are gonna have to put a lot of time on the water to accomplish. It would be much easier to catch 4 3lbers from the same lake.

3 lb. fish on Enid are rare for me . Lived there 14 yrs. caught one(3lb. 3 oz. ) in the mouth of Rowsey creek . Never seen Butla, but I know pretty good fishermen that strike out often . The other two are do able but pack a" big lunch" . Use of dynamite would be very helpful . :biggrin My best came from Grenada . 3lb. 10 oz. 23 years ago . lol
It would definitely be a challenge but that’s what would make it awarding. I’m not a turkey hunter but I’ve got a couple of friends that have accomplished their Grand Slam in a single season in it’s a prestige thing that very few can say they accomplished.

I’m still waiting on one over 2.5lb . A 3lber is like hitting the mega millions at tibbee
I caught a 2.2 there last February and I felt like I had hit the lotteryQuote:

The stringer we caught last Friday at the Rez was the best my partner had ever caught there as far as size, a day to remember the rest of our lives and not a 3 pounder in site.
Why the government of course. Don't you know they are entitled to it.:santaQuote:

I think that's about as likely as the Saints getting into the SuperBowl this year!
