This blog is solely set up to act as a forum/communication tool for the Official Redneck Carp Tournament in Bath, IL. I'll post photos and videos of the event where possible. For those who have not been to the event (or seen the jumping carp), I would strongly encourage you to attend this year's tournament. It will be sometime in late July/early August.
In the tournament, contestants run up and down the river in 4 heets of about 50 boats. The object is to catch as many of the carp as possible using only a net or club.
My buddies and I have been two times. The first year (2007), we caught about 45 fish in our two hour heet. Last year (2008), we didn't catch a single fish. I suspect it was due to the water level being so high. I guess we'll find out this year if we were just lucky in 2007 or whether 2008 was more indicative of the normal catch.
Flying Carp!!!
