Most recently, Season 3 launched The Crappie Chronicles brand to a new National level. This season started in Northern Minnesota, on December 15th, 2022 and ended with a trip to Maine where the final video was posted on February 23rd, 2023. The crew also visited the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Western Minnesota during this timeframe. All of these travels brought this series to a National viewing audience, and the growth has been exponential ever since.
However, it is always important to look back. The main plot of this series, since it's inception, has been to catch the biggest crappie ever caught on film. A fish over 18" in length. And the goal was to showcase some of the best crappie fishing across the ice belt, which is located within a 60-mile radius of Downtown Minneapolis. This initial thought, idea, and storyline is one that has propelled The Crappie Chronicles onward.
