2018 Connecticut Carp Tournament

Posted by Wayne G.Barber

Just Sharing the CT Carp Tournament - FINAL RESULTS (from Kyle) and some photos from their FB page.

What a crazy 79 hours of fishing. From down pouring rain to gusty winds and from severe high water levels to endless floating weeds wrecking havoc on anglers lines. To the 41 anglers that faced these conditions you all deserve a tip of the cap.
