Welcome to the First Annual Reelfoot Lake Ultimate Crappie Challenge. It takes place in the world-class crappie fishery of a Bill Dance Signature Lake, Reelfoot Lake in Samburg, Tennessee.
This 18,000 acre lake, located in the upper northwest corner, is the largest natural lake in the state, formed by an earthquake in 1811-1812 that caused the Mississippi River to flow backward into a shallow basin. Reelfoot is famous for its bluegill and crappie, which rank among the best in the state.
