So a little over a pound average, which is pretty good for this lake.  

I wonder if they televise any of it, would be interesting to see how they got them.  

I’m not sure quill they had three camera boats out filming...I served as a Marshall for this event, I had a great time , 2 of 3 the boats I was in ran to above cape fair , the other went in Long Creek....one team ran all the way up into Kings River, we launched from State Park....maybe check Mr.Crappie YouTube channel they may run them there not sure.

Yes they caught fish  2 of the 3 were Livescope vertical pole timber with 1/32 to 1/8 jigs and hair jigs and other guys were dock shooting . Those guys were from LOZ . I had never done any dock shooting so that was neat to watch man they were accurate!....the monsoon those guys prefished in really hindered them from showing off some nice TR crappie that swim in that lake. One team that was fishing Kings were on 1.5 lb average during prefishing but when they got their day one a huge floating debris mat was over their  spot....that be a sick sight to see as you round the bend after driving from State Park !

I've been put off by the debris mat more times than I can count up Kings fishing for crappie. Also caught some nice ones in the cuts in the debris.

Thanks Ron.  I bet like most any other kind of fishing these days if you don't have a live scope you go home a sad fisherman

Bill, surely you jest ... live scopes have been out only a couple of years. How many tens of thousands of fish did you catch before then? 

If that's the case, I have a 2013 Ranger for sale. No live scope. Buyer will have to add that himself or make do with a couple of obsolete old Humminbird 998's. 😂

Champ I've got a Lowrance x4 pro I don't think they even make anymore,  Maybe they do,And a Vexilar sonar phone I use on a phone that was gifted to me. , All for $200 bucks. Been successfully using them for the last few years now.

I've sat beside guys using live scope and g, they couldn't catch any. They could only stand to watch me catch four of five before they had to come on over and ask what I was using. "We can see them on the livescope, but they won't bite". 

So I showed them  because they asked politely. Yet they still wouldn't switch up. Just Kept staring at that big screen hoping and wishing like it would magically show them everything ...while I was busy landing my fish. I must have caught ten with their boat just 30' away. " we can see those fish your catching" he says. "Me too " I replied as I held up a  16" smallmouth.😆

I think Bill was just being silly joking 😉  (I hope)
