As the temperatures warm and the waters of Weiss Lake come alive, the annual Crappie Rodeo kicks off, bringing anglers from all over to compete for cash prizes, bragging rights, and the thrill of a great catch. Whether you're an avid fisherman or simply love the energy this event brings to our community, the Crappie Rodeo is just one of the many reasons to fall in love with Weiss Lake, Alabama.

What Is the Crappie Rodeo?

Each year, the Weiss Lake Improvement Association hosts the Crappie Rodeo, a thrilling fishing contest that runs from February 1 to April 30. Over the course of this event, 1,001 specially tagged crappie are released into the lake, each one offering a prize — from $50 to $1,000, and even a special $10,000 tagged fish! The best part? Local anglers and visitors alike have a chance to win just by catching one of these tagged fish.

If you're lucky enough to catch one, make sure to bring it to a designated check-in spot with your official Crappie Rodeo Badge in hand to claim your prize. It’s a fun, friendly competition that brings the community together and celebrates everything we love about Weiss Lake.
