I’m delighted it is back on the Hudson! Hugely successful event last year! The most important thing (for me anyway) is that almost everybody caught...making the drive and the hotel worthwhile for those that ventured. There was over a 1000lb of carp caught if memory serves me correctly...

Thanks for the corrections...I get my Alleghenys mixed up with my Monongahelas occasionally these days!...Ha! .it’s been a few years! I only ever took part in the Oil City event, I believe it was one of the organizers who told me about the numbers...regardless, it indicates a substantial number of people who are at least casually interested in carp angling in the area...and it would be great to see something of that scale take place again!

Are you on Facebook John? If so then connect with Ray Corcoran...he should be able to help...Also, I’m not sure if it still happens but they used to run a huge carp and catfish event on the Monongahela River out of Oil City PA...with as many as 400+ Anglers of all ages taking part...I’d be interested in taking part if you get this event off the ground...and I know a bunch of guys from PA would be as well...

On the positive I have some suggestions for your next article:
Relieving neck ache when carp angling.
Interesting things to do when blanking.
Netboy for the day.
A change of direction...Re-evaluating the golf experience...
Ok...that's enough from me...it happens to us all...I went from winning the Ed French one year to almost dead last the following year...that's fishing!

Apologies... I was trying to work from our Treasurers spreadsheet and a fading memory that was struggling with the overwhelming shame of a blank.
Hit me up if you ever need any carp fishing tips.....

I hate to get all pedantic on you Iain but the big four winner, and North American Carp Champion was Val Grimley (unless the results changed after the presentation??). Also, the section winners were determined by the big four fish, not total weight as listed here. Mike Dragone won B section not the overall big four. Apologies if the results did change after the presentation but if not I hope you haven't put yourself forward for the Treasurers position....Hahaha! Seriously though...thank you and all involved in putting together a great and successful carp angling event...

You just missed it...it was only six years ago...

Great work Larry in creating a memorable event for many!

The original post is from 6 years ago...they still have the tournaments once a month during the summer...they are open to anyone, membership not required...if you look for Ritchie Eldridge on Facebook he will have more details when the next one is etc...

Any further progress on the CCC yet? I know of at least two, possibly three, former members that will sign up for this if it happens..

Actually, this is likely to happen with the CCC 2017... More to come this week-end.
Great! Looking forward to hearing about any plans!

I'd like to see you back as a CAG member. --FrankI will rejoin if and when CAG organizes a competitive event within a reasonable driving distance...Hopefully the CCC will return further North this year, I'd really like to win it having wangled a second a couple of years ago...Congrats on your result at the White River...that's a great result going up against the local regulars...
-
I have an idea...all whiners, wringers, bedwetters and know it alls could pick up the ball and run with it and run a tournament exactly as THEY would like it to be run...this would include post tournament information...
-
Would it be gratuitous to suggest a special 'Osmond Award' for this event?

Would a glugged tennis ball on a 7 inch hair be considered a donkey choker?
Yes...and can you imagine the sense of anticipation if you had a run with a bait that size on? Ha!

I was just asking about Herkel at another site, sad to have heard he's not doing very good.
He's had and is having a few health issues but the old soldier is still getting out on the bank and promising to show up at Baldwinsville to fish with me at the Wild Carp Classic in May...we are planning on the double, we won it together in the Fall event...3 fish each of our six big fish total...?
-
I have fished for years next to Herkel, an ancient paylaker, those guys are all about the flavors. I am not, I think it's mostly snake oil...On ponds, lakes, rivers and massive rivers we always catch around the same...definitely if you averaged it out. There have only been two occasions when something remarkable happened, one was at an actual paylake where he had ten or more fish to my one (which wasn't much of a surprise really) and another on a flooded river where donkey choker high attract boilies (no method or pack) out fished the flavored pack and puff approach by about the same ratio.

A subject worthy of a hilarious inquiry and dissertation in itself I think...
-
These are great Dave! I think some of them would look fantastic enlarged, printed and mounted...I might pursue something like this in the spring...I'm thinking of huge wall size prints/ canvases...5ft x 6ft or so they would look brilliant...abstract and specific...thanks for sharing!

Have you tried contacting Dennis Moneypenny? He still had some old stock left quite recently...

Looks great! Wish I lived a little closer!

Colin and I will be running an optional $20/20/10 side pot again for anyone that is interested. Big fish, Big four, Big mirror (if no mirrors are caught it will go to the smallest recorded fish)...it worked out rather well for His Royal Highness last time...see you there!
