Default Carp-o-rama 2008 turnout

I swear, this shoot keeps getting better every year. Guys that still havnt came to this shoot dont really know what your missing.

Ended up being 18 teams in the river division and I thought I heard 31 for the lake division. Maybe Force Feed will chime in on exactly who won what and correct things I got wrong when he has time.

We were in the river division so I will give my take on the day...

Blast off was at 7, was kind of a mad house and am actually kinda suprised nobody got rammed. RNTMVP had the lead heading up river and kept it until he moved out of sight from me. We went to the hole I found the big school of bigheads in the other day and they were nowhere to be found. So we headed upriver and started drifting for Grass Carp. The early morning Grassies were really spooky, we didnt boat our first fish til almost 10...yes I was getting nervous. But from then til about 12:30 we had pretty consistent action. After that there were so many damn pleasure boaters out it made things alot tougher then it should have been...it was almost constant boat traffic at times.

Had acouple memorable shots today...1st was the wife made a awsome shot on a Buff that was hauling butt, another was Mini and Me doubling on Grassies. But honestly my favorite shot was a shot at a gar I could barely see and ended up killing 2 with 1 shot.

We ended up taking 4th, AGAIN, with 21 fish. Yellab and partner edged us out of 3rd with I THINK 24 fish. 2nd went to Kent(full Draw) and partner with 31 fish, plus they had big fish, and 1st went to ??? with 37 fish. Dont know the lake division places so I wont post em.

Here is a pic of Mini-me posing with some of the pile of dead invasives.



Now he thinks he is tough holding up a 30 pound Bighead.
