And they added an Art Chamberlin Memorial Cup for Oct 11th at Roosevelt Lake.  I asked Tracy and he said it would be a bass-only tournament although crappie caught in that tournament count as goon fish.

Intersting OneTime...I've caught many Largemouth over on that point, were the trees are submerged. I'll give it a shot next time out.

I've updated the LTF schedule with updated dates plus looks like March 28th they'll have a crappie division tournament at Alamo Lake, coinciding with AZCA Spring Crappie Fest 2026 that same date and location.  Similar rules will likely apply as we are doing for BHCC 2025 where you are free to one, both, or even neither tournament if you don't want.

From Tracy at LTF:
We are dedicated to advancing the sport of fishing through tournaments, youth activities, conservation, and educational events while exposing people to God's Great Creation. This allows future generations the opportunity to compete in the sport of fishing and for the individual to expand their fishing experience.

We provide a high return on the anglers' financial investment while running a professional circuit, using state-of-the-art equipment and having knowledgeable & experienced staff.

We strive for high fish release rates, so fish care is one of our top priorities.

Our desire is for all to have fun and have an experience of a lifetime.

My graph kept lying to me...these look like crappie mixed in with bluegill. Turns out they are giant bluegill mixed in with normal bluegill. The big ones all weighed in between 0.90 and 0.98 pounds...just couldn't get one above the 1 pound mark. Many Yellows and Large Mouth also caught...no Catfish this trip. I know this is a crappie page, and trust me, I'm trying to catch them. Feel free to add a comment if and where you have ever caught a crappie at Saguaro.

While no crappie were caught today, the bluegills were so massive they looked like crappie on the graph. Gills, Cats, Yellows, and LM all were in abundance. Did I mention the gills were HUGE.
