Well, after swapping tons of e-mails, and playing around with Excel, here is where we are... The biggest FFF event ever in every possible respect... Many thanks to all brave participants who made it happen!
As a side note, the real numbers are a bit bigger than what I'm going to describe. I still have 10+ guys who didn't give me any news, plus a few other participants who didn't give me all details... Oh well... Total number of participants: 148, including 14 juniors. States with active participants: 20 in the US, and one in Mexico! Total number of carp: at least 280... For a little more than 3000 pounds of carp. 50 degrees F or less: 229 carp, more than 2500 pounds, 54 participants caught at least one (including the smallest and largest). Of course, they were all "snagged" in the mouth, right, Phone?  Neil, oh Neil: 22 mirrors, plus 2 (superb) kois. 6 participants found a way to catch more than one mirror! -------------------- Jerome Moisand, Arlington MA

Great job Jerome. I had a blast even though we had a certain no show that was not allowed out of the house. We are already planning for next year. We put it together kind of quick and will be better organized next year. Great job Shawn. Hopefully next year the St. Lawrence is frozen over. Just kidding!
