Event History....
The Crappie Challenge in 2013 was the first ever event the BKFT held!
It had 18 anglers that launched in 25+ mph winds. They all were forced to go directly to the large number of intertwining channels to hunt for their slabs. Most of the crappie were caught in 2-5 foot of water and everyone who placed in the top 5 last year tallied at least a 3 crappie total of 30".
Chase Bateson of Zanesville, OH won with a whopping 37.5" total! The picture above shows Chase holding the 14" Crappie that propelled him to both the win and the Big Fish pot!
