I want to congratulate all of the winners and thank those responsible, especially all of the sponsors for bringing the Crappie USA tournament to Texas.

Also big thanks to Finny Tribe and Texas Motorcars for helping James and I through the tournaments as our sponsors.

Congrats y'all. Those are some impressive weights.

Very nice! Looks like it was a good one!

Good job guys!

Congrats to Anh and Rick. The rest of you guys too I guess. Those are some healthy stringers there for sure.

Congrats to all the winners! Looks like a CAT tourney from all those names.....

GReat Job guys!! Killer lookin jerseys, Mark, Jason, Jeff, Bob!!!!!!!! I cant believe the low boat turnout!!

Luke

They are some great looking shirts!!! I wonder were they came from...

Everyone was shocked at the low turnout; only 13 total boats in both divisions and they paid 3 places. Heck, there was 3 teams in the Amateur division and they all collected a check. I hope our CAT tournament has a better turnout.

If anyone was thinking about fishing it and decided not to; it would be interesting to know what changed your mind...

Jeff

Two main factors, 1)fished that lake two days two yrs ago during the CAT tour, caught 11 fish in 2 days; 2)wind was predicted to be gusting 25mph on Sat. Kinda hard to pre-fish in a gale if you know nothing about the lake. Overall cost was a third factor.

I probably would have made the trip, but I did not hear about it until the week of the tournament. Not to mention I've been planning days off for the Cat tournament so I just decided to wait and fish our tournament instead.

Hate we missed it! Would rather have been fishing, but personal matters kept us from fishing the last couple of weeks. Hope to see everyone at the CAT tournament!

Main reason Wes and I did not fish it is because the only reason we fish any circuit is to potentially qualify for the Classic of that trail...and if we qualify, then we go fish that Classic.

With the CAT State Championship, and the CrappieMasters Classic already on our schedule...another potential Classic was just not going to fit on our schedule for 2011.

Hopefully Crappie Masters in June/Texoma will draw more teams.

Congratulations to Ahn and Rick on their victory! Also, congratulations to all the CAT teams that did well at Fork.

Nice work guys!

Great job to everybody!
