There will be a banquet following the tournament for both teams. We will be having Ribeye Steak sandwiches. Also, we are smart enough to know that that little one point lead doesn't mean a thing. Illinois Carpers have owned this river for the last few years. Hopefully we will be bringing our "A" game. Looking forward to seeing all of you.

I'm getting you 8 shirts, just get me the sizes.
Money's tight, times are hard. Maybe next year
Just give me a size Larry, don't worry about it, We're all right. I want you guys to look good when your handing the cup to the Indiana guys.
Frank, just see if you can get me the eight sizes. I'll get them going. Westside Bait is going full sponsorship on the shirts. P.S. You know I'm just joking on the Trash Talking. -
Frank Jim said we could get matching shirts like he's got for 12.00 from say guy who makes his... Any word?
They are actually about $20 ea. per shirt total. I will have them made for you guys for $10 each as a partial sponsorship for team Illinois. I can get a blue that will match the hats you have and we will use a yellow thread on the embroidery. Let me know, I can have them done for you guys. It will be my pleasure. Just post the sizes on this thread if you are interested.

Sorry about the wording of my post, I was just asking if the Carp were more often caught these days, than when I last fished there. Apparently the news is good and lots of Carp are now a feature of tournaments there! I realize that every venue has its Off days (we've seen a bunch of hard tournaments this Spring in WI), but it sounds like it should be a fun event.
Jim always puts on a wonderful show for us all, and I'm already working on my Calendar, to see if I can free up that weekend.
Looking forward to seeing you Lee, No offense taken. The River can be tough at times. Were hoping the good times may outweigh the mediocre fishing. We are gonna make this CCC a real party. Thank you for the outstanding efforts you put into your tournaments. Jim

Just wanted to show you the Walters Cup trophy. Looking real forward to this event. Not too far away (June 22nd) in Joliet.
There is a traveling Trophy and 8 small trophies for each team member to keep.

I would first like to say Thank You for giving Indiana an opportunity to run this event. We understand that this is the 20th anniversary of this tournament and we hope to make it special. We all know that if not for all of the efforts of the Chicago Area Carp Anglers that this event would not be what it has become. The Hoosier Carpers have always had a close connection to the CCC. We will do everything possible to keep the traditions of this tournament at the forefront of our planning. We have put together a very capable committee to begin planning this event. We will be meeting soon to layout the schedule of events. Without saying too much yet, here are a few of the details.
We estimate that we will be able to accomodate nearly a hundred anglers if necessary. We plan to have a pre tournament fishing event on the Thursday night and Friday before the CCC. We have discussed having it at an area paylake that is very CAG friendly and one of the Top Carp paylakes in the Midwest.
We will host a Corn Boil on Friday evening at The Westsde Bait and Tackle. This will feature a catered Meal, Live Band, and fun party. I'm sure there will be plenty of beer available also. This will be free to all of the participants and families.
There will be a box lunch delivered to the pegs of all of the anglers participating during the tournament.
The Meeting and awards will feature a catered meal in the Sportsman's Hall located just behind the Westside Bait.
There will be a Single Rod Carp Derby and Cookout on the Sunday after the tournament at a private location for anyone who wishes to stay on for an extra day.
There will be a Bivvy town set up in the field next to the Baitshop for anyone who wishes to camp on any of the nights. There is numerous hotels within a mile of the venue that we will be contacting for rates and possible special pricing.
We will have weigh stewards with scales for the tournament, so there will be no need to bring your own scales.
We will be discussing lots of other details when we meet.
Some of the Committee members include:
*Jathan Imhausen: CAG State Chair
*Gilbert Huxley: Founder of Hoosier Carpers
*Rick Slinker: Former CAG Chair and 2 time NACC
*Amos Behanna: 2 time Chicago Carp King
*Paige Behanna: CAG Member
*Jim Donlan: Owner Westside Bait
*Tony Lett: CAG Member
*Arleff Weaver: CAG Member
*And many other CAG Members and Sponsors from around the Country who are going to help make this possible.
Please follow this Thread for Details as they become known.
Registration will begin shortly.
Below are some Photos of the Venue which will be used for the 2013 CCC.
Carp for this tournament will range from low to mid teens, with an occasional but, rare 20 pound plus. Also, nice looking mirrors are starting to show up.
Below is a picture of a 25 pounder that came from the venue last year.
