| My biggest carp in the tournament was a 38 lb., 12 oz. monster common. It was a potential state record, and the second largest carp I have ever landed in RI! |
The CAG National Spring Big 4 Tournament has come to an end, and I ended up in third place overall this year. It was one of my best finishes ever in this event. The event drew over 60 members from all over the US. And, these guys really know how to carp fish! The first place finisher with 143 lbs. fished in Tennessee. Second place came from Pennsylvania and surprise, surprise, third place came from RI.
The tournament ran from March 15 to June 15. The goal was to enter your four biggest carp. My four fish total came to 133 lbs., 12 oz. I had carp of 38 lbs., 12 oz. (potential state record), 36 lbs., 4 oz. (potential state record), 29 lbs., 8 oz., and 29 lbs., 4 oz. All my fish were caught from RI waters. This was my second biggest weight total in the 12 years that I have been doing this tournament. I caught all these fish on the same baits- a combo bait of one kernel of maize and a white pop-up artificial corn fished on the hair rig. A method ball was packed around my sinker.
For my third place finish, I won a $100.00 gift certificate to Big Carp Tackle. I'm sure I can find something nice to buy with that!
