Chad, and all the volunteers who made the CCC possible this year. Thank you!
Mother Nature threw us a change up with flooding, but the work you put into making this event possible was extraordinary. It took a lot of time and thought to put it all together. Strong work.
Thanks to the folks at Dale’s Athletic Club for hosting the dinner/raffle. Being a new guy, I felt welcomed by everyone and enjoyed the visit. Looking forward to seeing you in the future.
Dave
Thank you David. It was nice meeting you as well as a few others carpers that I have never met before. Its too bad you didn't catch anything especially since you had drawn my favorite peg, the river was just mean on Saturday.

no the CAG has set it to just two fishing next to each other

If you decide to use bank sticks in Joliet here are the ways I use them. I don't use a pod in Joliet however, if you're planning on fishing Montrose then you will need a pod....its concrete. I suggest bringing some zip ties if you are using bank sticks.

Hello everyone, here are the details of the post CCC tournament bieng held on the DesPlaines river in Joliet on Sunday September 29th. The peg draw will be at 6:30 a.m. in the parking lot in Veterans park. This will be the same peg draw location as the CCC from the day before. The tournament will be from 7:30 a.m. to 4p.m. This will be a full 100% payout tournament with first place getting 50% ...second place will get 30% and third will get 20%. The format will be big 3 carp. The cost will be $20 per angler and up to three rods will be allowed. This will not have weigh stewards but, you must have the angler next to you verify and sign off on the weight of your catch. There will also be an optional $5 big fish pot. This will be a peg choice rather than peg assignment. The great part is that if a certain peg puts out nice carp during the CCC, then you could potentially choose that peg. We will put chips in a bucket and they will be numbered. This will decide peg draw order. So...you could be last to get a chip out of the bucket and still get 1st peg choice. This keeps it random and fair. This event will be hosted by The Mid-State Carpers and other prizes will he awarded for small fish, most fish and last fish.
Sign up....coming soon

2019 CCC RESULTS..... Greetings everyone, please join me in congratulating Wayne Boone as the 2019 North American CAG Carp Classic champion. The morning of the classic started out with the obvious evidence of massive rain from the previous 24 hours making the DesPlaines river a raging mess with weeds and debris all threw out. Despite the less than favorable weather and the current flowing at 18,000 cubic feet per second, we had 43 anglers from 8 states and 2 countries ready to not only battle each other but the DesPlaines river as well. We quickly preceded threw check in and peg draw to start the 2019 CCC on time at 8 a.m. The bite during the day was slow to say the least. The most noise that came out of everyones alarms was due to current and weeds. A lot of anglers used up to 12oz. of lead just to be able to hold bottom. With that bieng said there were a couple of carp captured by anglers in two different sections. The morning carp caught was in section "C" by Destinie Vaughn weighing in at 8lb-2oz. The late afternoon carp was captured by Wayne Boone in section "B" weighing in at 8lb-15oz. This would be the single fish that won everything. Waynes catch not only got him the Noth American CAG championship but, it was also good for Carp King as well as section winner. The other section prize winners were Fred Rhodes for section "A"....Destinie Vaughn for section "C"...and Aniq Sajjad for section "D". The team Challenge for the classic had 11 teams signed up however, no team entered landed a carp. The award banquet was held at the Rockdale A.C. a couple of hours after the classic ended. Upon entering the Rockdale AC , anglers were welcomed to a large selection of food to satisfy anyones appetite. The award ceremony took place right after dinner followed up by auctioning off a couple of big ticket prizes donated by Big Carp Tackle and CAG. After the quick auction we proceeded to start raffling off the two pool tables full of prizes. The amount of tickets sold for the raffle was nothing short of fantastic. We took well over an hour to give out nearly 200 prizes that was all donated by multiple companies as well as carp fishing clubs. As the drinks were flowing and the good times going the crowd began to thin out and at just after 10:30 the last of us had called it a night . I want to also acknowledge that Nash legends Steve and Joan Briggs from the U.K. were in the states on a fishing holiday and they had decided to attend the 2019 CCC on their last weekend here in the U.S. I, ( as well as many others) had the chance to spend a little time chatting with the Briggs and they are the sweetest most down to earth people you would ever want to meet. It was truly an honor to meet and share bank space with Steve and Joan. I would like to thank each and everyone that not only attended the classic but to all of those that supported me in hosting the 2019 CAG Carp Classic. The generosity of carp community is second to none. I am truly honored to be the host of such a prestigious Carp tournament and I am humbled that I had this opportunity. Thank you everyone, Chad Bettisch ... 2019 CCC host.
