RI CAGers Score in Top Ten in National Big 4 Tournament

Todd Richer, 6th place, 106/11 points.

I came in 8th place. 97/14 points.

The national Fall Big 4 Tournament sponsored by the Carp Anglers Group has concluded, and once again, our RI carpers had a real good showing. Prizes were awarded for the 10 ten finishers and we had two winners. This is a tournament that ran for two months in which carp anglers (CAG members) from all over the country entered their biggest four fish.  Add the poundage for the biggest 4 and that was your point total.
RI CAGer Todd Richer ended up in sixth place.  Todd logged in four fish that had a combined weight of 106 lbs., 11 oz. His biggest was 27 lbs., 2 oz. Todd is one of premier big carp fishermen here in RI and regularly places in many of the national tournaments. Todd won a gift certificate to Big Carp Tackle.
I was the other winner in the top ten, and ended up in eighth place. My total was 97 lbs., 14 oz. My biggest fish was 27 lbs., 2 oz. I also won a gift certificate to Big Carp Tackle.
I can tell you that it is not easy to place in the top ten in this tournament.  You are competing with some of the best carp anglers from all over the country. Many of these guys and gals fish some of the big rivers that regularly give up 30+ lb. fish!
