Larry & Josef Win Third Place!

Congratulations to Larry & Josef, who battled through the 72-hour Tournament of Champions (Hartford, CT), to win a hard-earned 3rd Place. All the competitors had a tough time, with colder temperatures and the fish not willing to feed much during the day-time; this certainly was an endurance event!

Here's the link to the competition page, with articles and video clips.

Way to go guys, this was a great result!

ACS Tournament of Champions; October 14-18

The ACS Tournament of Champions is just about to start; and I'm going to be following it closely this year. This is one of the major catch-and-release carp-fishing events of the year; the 2008 competition is being held on the Connecticut River, at East Hartford, CT.

Yep, it's a long way away, but I just wish I was there, and I hope everyone catches a few good Carp. Entrants this year include my buddies and the 2007 & 2008 WI Carp Championship "spectators favorites", fishing as pair teams:

Josef Settele ('08 WI Carp Champ & '07 WI CC 3rd Place) & Larry Kirchner ('08 WI CC 3rd Place)

Ernest Kolodziejczk ('07 WI Carp Champion) & Chris Motwicki ('07 WI CC Mirror Carp Winner)

Andrzej Burnagiel ('08 WI CC Mirror Carp Winner) & Michal Brada ('07 WI CC Tony Safranski Award Winner).

Best of luck Guys, I hope you claim the top 3 places! Here's an article on the event.

YouTube Video on Fishing the Tiger Feeder

Hi Folks!

A number of people have asked me about where they can see Tiger Feeders in action. Well... Eric has worked an awesome job on the video footage he took earlier in the year, while we were field-testing the prototype Tiger Feeders.

This was a short session at Two Rivers, WI; on a new stretch that we hadn't fished or pre-baited before. It was a really cold and very windy day; so windy in fact that this was one of the few areas we could find where it was possible to film without our gear being blown away!

The video is split into two parts, here's part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOLt3I0tuYc
This puts you straight into the action, with a couple of twenties and a big teen, then there's part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMQwG61tjm8
In part 2, I try to show the Tiger Feeder and rig, but am very nicely interrupted by a near-thirty. I do finally get the message across... the Tiger Feeder works with most standard carp rigs AND it helps you catch the bigger ones.

Let me know what you think; feedback is welcome!

Larry and the Twenties

Larry (2008 WI Carp Championship 3rd place) and I fished one of my favorite venue's recently. We were using the new Tiger Feeders and an attractor that Larry's been perfecting, and the fishing gods smiled upon us. Larry had four twenties during the day, topped with a Personal Best fish of just over 29 pounds.

Way to go Larry, looks like my Tiger Feeders helped with the bigger fish!
