Winners Announced: BIG CRAPPIE QUEST at Green River Lake!

 

The National Crappie Trail (NCT) is pleased to announce its winners from the Big Crappie Quest at Green River Lake - COLUMBIA, KY

 
 

The National Crappie Trail visited Green River Lake, KY, for a Big Crappie Quest on May 2, 2026. With anglers from over 7 different states, they faced classic early May conditions in central Kentucky, with temperatures ranging from the mid 50s in the morning to the mid 70s by the afternoon, along with periods of passing clouds and light spring showers and breezy winds across the lake. Despite the changing weather and occasional chop on the water, fish remained active enough to give competitors quality bites throughout the day.
