Kayak Fishing Indian Lake Ohio BKFT crappie tournament, my first time trying to catch crappie

This was the Buckeye Kayak Fishing Trail's annual crappie event, and since I have never intentionally caught a crappie or have ever been to Indian Lake, I thought it was a great idea to enter! So much to say about this video... it was a big mess of a day and I am glad that nothing truly bad happened. But... I almost fell in when I hooked my kayak flag with my chatterbait, and in trying to reach the flag from my seat, I almost tipped my kayak, but instead the flag pole gave out and it snapped off at the base (unfortunately not on camera). Then I dropped my pole in the lake, but luckily it was attached to a bobber, so I could fish it back out. The water was much more turbulent than I expected, so there were some sketchy moments paddling the 3 1/2 miles back to the launch against the wind and the current. Oh, and I didn't catch any fish that counted for either this crappie tournament (WHY did I enter a crappie tournament?!?) or for the month-long online bass tournament I am in, but I did catch a saugeye and a nice pink diving mask(the rare and elusive Indian Lake Mask Fish).
