The competitors
 

There were supposed to be 9 teams in the competition but only 4 turned up (maybe the weather put them off)

When we did the lottery for the swim allocation, Rassie and Niklas came first again. Thats 3 years in a row!! :)
And Team Screaming Delkims drew last place again. Thats 2 years in a row!! :(

There was only one carp caught in the competition, and i also lost a carp on saturday afternoon.
There were a few Bream caught by the other teams and Bruno caught 2 ducks aswell hahaha. (Jeanette caught a duck in the competition 2008 from the same swim)

I won prize money (1200kr) and all my own leads back that i had donated as prizes for the competition hahahaha........Result, hee hee

Rassie and Niklas were plagued with crayfish that were demolishing thier hookbaits down in Edsviken.
Daniel saw a carp under his rod tip on Sunday morning as he had thrown a couple of handfulls of particles in the margins.

The strangest thing was the carp i landed was caught twice in the competition in 2008.
Rassie caught it on Saturday in Edsviken at 9.9kg and then Jeanette caught it on Sunday morning at 9.8kg

Have a look at the photos below and you can clearly see it is the same carp. It now weighs 11.1kg

Another strange thing is that last year Tobbe Fränsteam came in second place with a Mirror Carp that was 11.1kg........... weird :)

 

The caught caught 3 times
(Click on the photos to enlarge)

Rassie 9.9kg - 2008
Jeanette 9.84kg - 2008
Chris 11.1kg - 2009

I have now named the carp "Delks" after being caught twice by Team Screaming delkims.
