The 1 million-dollar carp!
The American Carp Society are offering a reward of 1 million dollars for the capture of the New York State rod caught record (standing at 50lb 4oz) in their 2005 World Carp Championship. The match will be held on the mighty St Lawrence River from 5-10th June 2005 and is set to be the largest ever carp match in the world.
The organizer Mr David Moor from the American Carp Society believes the reward will bring the carp to the forefront in the USA and prevent the sport of bow hunting.
The prize is only offered to participating anglers at a cost of $2500 to enter the composition which covers a team of two anglers and covers hotel accommodation on the first and last night of the week long festival. The opening and closing events will be held at Akwesasne Mohawk Casino in New York.
A 40 mile stretch of the river with 200 swims using computer controlled updated information on whose catching what and when. The event will be on television and radio covering the whole event all week which means loads of publicity for the winners.
A limited amount of places available to different countries are controlled by the International Carp Fishing Association in the UK. Booking are only available through Angling International by calling Rob Hughes on 01980 591484.
