Few could foretell what would unfold during Carp Slam 6. Many were confident that the beats around 104th avenue would not only yield fish, but provide us with a clear champion. The fish had moved from downtown they said, all the pods were up north cried the experts. As it happened those northern beats were drawn by some of the best in the business, but at lunch they all had their heads hung low. Raising them only to admire Will Rice and Clint Packo atop the leader board, at one of those southern “downtown” beats.

Despite having to shoulder the weight of one Will Rice, the incumbent champion put on another show and proved that perhaps the man has some mad skillz. Clint Packo and Will Rice had every reason to hoard the limelight, but in a true display of sportsmanship they allowed us to drink from the chalice of victory. Providing us with perhaps just enough luck, to bring it home ourselves next year.

Double Down

I doubled my bets, and had my lady get some extra luck for next year.

Is August Carp Slam Time?

August 5, 2012 by n.taylor 5 Comments

This year will be different as I have lost a dear friend who will not be competing this year. Michael Gracie has voluntarily bowed out of the competition citing a desire to work a more administrative function for the Carp Slam.

While a noble cause, I’d like to think he is afraid to suffer defeat at my hands but I’m pretty sure he just wants to avoid that legendary 2-day Carp Slam hangover. In his absence he has assured me that there will be a cast of characters, included in this rumor is Roughfisher and old favorites like Fat Guy Alex Landeen.

In case you haven’t been paying attention, it is time you focused on your training…
