🎣 The Black Friday Big Mama is Coming to Carlyle

Presented by Southern 6 Crappie Trail and Sharpshooter Fishing Guides

The Black Friday Big Mama Crappie Tournament is coming to Carlyle Lake on November 28, 2025, and it’s about to be a whole different level of fun. While everyone else is battling for Black Friday doorbusters, we’ll be chasing slabs, telling lies, and putting cold water crappie on the map.

This is a tournament for every kind of angler—whether you’ve got a $150k rig or a 15-foot jon boat. It only takes one fish to make a statement. The vibe? Competitive, but laid back. This ain’t a points trail—it’s about good fishing, good people, and good fun. And this year, the winners don’t just walk away with checks…

🏆 They take home the belts.

That’s right—custom wrestling belts will be awarded to the Big Mama Champions. Not only do you win the cash, you get to walk away with a belt slung over your shoulder like a legend.

And it doesn’t stop there—winners become the first members of an exclusive club of champions. Every year, those belts come back out. Wear 'em at future tournaments. Strut across the parking lot. Let everyone know who the top dogs are.

This isn’t just a trophy—it’s a title.

💰 $100 Big Mama Main Pot

💵 $20 Biggest 7 Fish Side Pot

100% PAYBACK. No membership. No politics. Just fishing.

This tournament is built to grow. The more boats that show up, the bigger the payout—and with the kind of early sponsor support and promo we’re putting behind this, it’s only going up from here.

🐟 Why Carlyle?

Because Carlyle Lake is a cold water powerhouse.

No tall tales here—just a solid winter bite, legit 2+ pounders, and a real chance at a 3-pound hybrid for the folks who find the right stretch. Carlyle holds strong when other lakes stall out, and this time of year, it’s one of the Midwest’s best-kept secrets.
