3rd 20.8 lbs
4th 19.6 lbs
5th 19.3 lbs

7th 18.0 lbs
8th 14.2 lbs
9th 10.8 lbs
10th 5.7 lbs -> OZ
11 4.4 lbs
As far as I know no Carp cuaght by anyone, although a few lost a few of them. One goldfish(technically a Carp) and some Catfish for the bigger of the fish caught. One angler(not in the tournament) caught four catfish bottom fishing with cut bait and shrimp in less that two hours.
ALL fish were released, even the angler catching the cats let them go :-)
Met a fellow CF member, but didn't really impress him by catching anything exciting LOL.
