I have a little update on the tournament. There was 18 teams total. There have been 12 fish caught as of 5:00 pm. The Biggest fish is just over 6 lbs. The fish are spread out through about 7-8 teams. Nobody seems to be dominating as of yet. I hope to have some better results in a while. I do know one thing, that none of the fish caught so far were by the "Hoosier Carpers". There was a family derby across the river with kids. I heard they caught over 100 carp. One kid caught 20.

Blue Team Captain Rick Slinker and Red Team Captain Adam Jenkins just before heading out for the Illinois Carp Championships.
Adam wanted to thank all of the people who voted for him. He says he will not let you down.
(there is a poll on "Indiana Carp Talk")
Rick would like to say thank you to the few people who believe in him.
Rick and Adam with some of their supporters.
Notice the spit cups in the red team picture in support of Jathan Imhausen.

Here is the Final Results of the 2009 Hoosier Carpers Tournament Trail top 10 tournament for a trip to compete in the 2010 ACS Northeast Regional in Baldwinsville NY in May 2010. The Winner received a paid entry ($500) and will represent the "Hoosier Carpers"
This was a tournament in which the Top 10 finishers in the 2009 Hoosier Carpers Tournament Trail qualified to compete in.
Recap:

It was then Tony forte who got on them and caught over five fish in the second hour. JR ralston then caught 5 straight fish in a 1 hour span and cut Tony's lead to 2 points. Tony finished strong in the last hour to secure his lead with 4 more fish.
Dale Anderson added 3 fish as did Shannon Pearson. Luke Bober and Ernest K. each had one fish.
The results:
1st. Tony Forte (9 fish) 22 points
2nd. JR Ralston (5 fish) 17 points
3rd. Mike Olinger (3 fish) 9 points
4th. Shannon Pearson (3 fish) 9 points
