Late for launch at day one of practice at fhe crappie expo already! Didn’t get over here till 10 last night and it was nearly one when I got in bed!



If y’all are looking for something to do next weekend come check out the crappie expo in Shreveport! Wally does it up right!

That should pay for a 16" Garmin for Livescope! Heck, just go with the 24" screen!

Doubles would get pricy! Maybe finance em for 10 years!!

Eliminating lots of water! We might be in Arkansas before too long at the rate we’re going!

[DuramaxDude]

If you hit the Denison dam or the Gulf you've gone too far!

[Slew]

I think we saw dolphins today! Ran about 30 miles back on fumes! I didn’t thing we could burn that much gas in a day! I was wrong!

Off to Brookshire’s to fill up! Bet we get the card cut off 2 maybe 3 times before we’re done!

[Gladesgator]

Congrats and Good luck, Todd!

[Keith]

I found a Minn Kota Ultrex 36 volt 60" Link yesterday and drove over to pick it up from David at "Shut up and fish". Todd told me to let David know that Todd sent me, and he only upped the price $100! Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned Todd's name. Actually he knocked off $100 because of Todd. Now I just need to get it installed and chase some crappie.

I was really hoping to make the expo this year as close as it is to dfw. Bit plans got in the way.

You're playing with house money slew! Good luck this week -we'll be following along!

I don't think gators count in this tournament.... well, you are in Louisiana, so maybe they do.

Good luck!

We’re trying! Fished 8 national tourneys this year between 3 circuits and had 4 top 10s and a win! 1st in Crappie USA pro division on Fork. Second in the CM National Championship. 4th at ACT on Truman and 6th on Washington CM.

ACT put out their schedule yesterday. Looks like we’re gonna try to fish 12 national tournaments next year starting with D’Arbonne in Feb!

[Slew]

Boat 40! Not too bad I guess! We have a plan but I know how that goes. This place fished super small and doesn’t have a lot of fish! Everybody is gonna find the same fish. Bass guys fishing that’s cool! I think they’re gonna be in for a surprise! Hopefully anyhow! We have a plan! Fish hopefully get the memo and we can make it to day three and lay the pedal down! Ranger gets her ears pinned back in the AM! 15 boats have been torn up so far hope we can survive!

Wish us luck. Hopefully update 4pm ish?

Do you need a Livescope mount? I think mine is around here somewhere, I can bring it to you.

We have extras and I think they have some here! We’re down to our last one and we only have one TM prop left! Rivers as low as it gets it’s nasty out there! People have tore up boats and had to be hauled in every day.

[Slew]

Weigh in is on YouTube now. We’re at 31.40 I think

Fish are beat to death in our area! 10 even today. Sitting in 6th place. Leader would have to fall out the boat and drown to lose. He’s got a 2 pound lead on second place. We’re 2.5 pounds back. Would love to get back in top3 bite that’s .75 jump. That’s a big jump here anymore!

[Texas Grown]

All it take is one, or maybe two good fish! Keep-a-roll-n!

You said there are lots of guys tearing up their boats, I don't want to wish that on anybody, but it could happen. Good luck tomorrow.

If you are fishing Sunday let's go do it!

Keep Paul and Jerry in the rear view!

[Slew]

We made it to payday. Sitting in 6th place. Hope to improve but the leaders light years ahead of the pack. He’s got 2 pounds on second place and 2.5 pounds on us! He would have to fall out the boat and drown to not win it IMO. He won’t tear anything up. He’s fishing right past the no wake zone at the marina! Be on the big stage today. Think weight in is live on Facebook. It’s so cool being up on stage in front of thousands of people talking about crappie fishing!!

I guess he get lots of extra fishing time if he's not running for hours up and down the river. Hey, I'm sure 2nd place would be a heck of a payday in that tournament. Good luck.

His partner said they had 3 good fish before take off was done! Our 2 best places were a ghost town yesterday! We had 2 weight fish at 11! And you have to be back on the trailer by 2 for the police escort to town. We ran to an area we had 1.20-1.30 fish in and put together 7 but still had a .92 and a 1.01. Fell to 11th. That said tickled to make it to payday! I can’t even find the standings. There was a hiccup with weight in that burned a lot of us but what can you do. Table Rock again next year. Hafta see if it’s in fhe budget. I’m not excited about going back there but if we can afford it we probably will. Entry fee will be $3k I think. Awesome to see crappie fishing grow. Shaw Grigsby made it to day 2! None of the other bass guys did! He looked nervous as heck Wednesday at the dinner! Told me he saw 2 guys running double livescopes one sitting and one running the TM hollering out numbers the whole time dissecting a creek channel like a surgeon! I laughed and asked him where he saw us at!! We’ve got our system pretty dialed in now. We can compete with anybody I think. Off to see the Expo today!

Todd and Clay just got new nicknames, the Crappie Surgeons!


I'm glad y'all got a check, just wish it was a $100,000 check.

Yes sir! Prefishing we thought we had em! Fish proved otherwise!

[TeamAmerica]

Congrats Todd! Impressive to make it to payday. Sounds like 1st place was the team of destiny with a 2 lb lead. Sometimes you have to watch greatness and just give them credit.

Glad to hear you got your new scope setup dialed in. Wonder if perspective could come in handy with two scopes? I have never even turned mine on in that mode.

Guys that won run double scopes with one in perspective mode! They caught their fish in 6' of water on any little stick up there was in this cove. Happy for em. They're good people and a couple sticks for sure! They got covered up the last 2 days. I knew we were gonna fall behind several of them but I can't do that. I'm gonna fish my fish not chase the leader. I'll be in contention one of these days and I know for a fact Jeff and Jarod won't come crowd us! Got one more tourney in 2 weeks then we might actually go fish one in Nov on Bistineau! I haven't been on that lake in 20 years or more but I know where I would go!

On a side note it was cool to beat Cagle 2 weeks in a row! That dude can fish! That might not ever happen again!!

[Slew]

Well Bistineau tourney is same day as day 2 of the Texas State Chamionship so that’s out. The NOCC is doing their annual Jack and Jill tourney on Pines Oct 23. Tons of cool prizes. I’m booked that Friday through Sunday but I’m going to send them $100 for raffle tickets. Headed out for a couple hours to knock the cobwebs off and check out some purpose built lenses! Working on a few new marketing partners for next year! One might take about 500lbs out the boat and keep me on the TM all day long! So awesome to see crappie fishing growing and to be a part of it! I can only dream of being a professional crappie fisherman someday! That would be sweet! Fish about 10-12 crappie tournaments a year and do some shows for a living??? Yes please!!!

[Slew]

Work weeks over after tomorrow!! Better hide crappie!!!
