RI CAGers Hit it Big in CT Tournament

Brian Savage

The biggest "big money" carp tournament in New England is the CT Carp Open sponsored by Fishin' Factory 3 in Middletown, CT.  It is held every year on the CT River and draws in top carp fishermen from all over the US.  This was a 4 day/night event in late October.  Anglers set up tents and fished day and night.

Two RI CAG anglers, Sean Reed and Brian Savage, formed a team and were big winners in this event. Sean and Brian are no strangers to big carp fishing as they have consistently placed in the top three in many of our state run tournaments. Brian and Sean came in 3rd place in the Big 4 part of the tournament. This won them a whopping $4,000. Their Big 4 total amounted to 111 lbs. Realize there were 70 top anglers entered and 40 teams, so to come in 3rd place is quite the accomplishment.

Huge congrats to Brian and Sean.
