Wild Carp Week 2012 to decide United States Champion
Sponsors |
Wild Carp Companies is proud to present the 2nd annual Wild Carp Week, taking
place May 19-25, 2012 in Baldwinsville, NY.
Wild Carp Week once again features five Carp angling tournaments in seven
challenging days, and this year’s event will determine which Carp angling
professional is national champion!
Wild Carp Week begins with a kick-off event on Baldwinsville’s Mercer Park
on Saturday, May 19 from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM. The kick-off is free and open
to the public. Here anglers will be able to register for events, eat, socialize
and watch the Celebrity Carp Challenge.
The The
Red Mill Inn of Baldwinsville is offering special rates to Wild Carp
Week competitors and their traveling companions for the dates of 5/19
– 5/25/12.
To take advantage of these special rates, please call The
Red Mill Inn directly at 315-635-4871 and let them know you are competing
in a Wild Carp Week event.
The Celebrity Carp Challenge will showcase local celebrities fishing as a team with local Carp professionals and vying for the biggest Carp caught during the event. All celebrity anglers will win their share of $10,000, which will be awarded to the charity of their choice.

The opening tournament - the
Wild Carp Classic - will showcase
some of the world’s best Carp anglers competing as teams for 50 consecutive
hours. This grueling endurance event has produced over 125,000 lbs of carp
caught and released in 5 years of competition.
The team of Mihai Acui and Bogdan Bucur dominated the 2011 field with 84 fish
at over 1,500 lbs. The pair will be back in 2012 representing Extreme Carp Fishing
and looking to repeat—a task that may prove difficult with runners-up Rafter/Terriah,
Eldridge/Sylar and Brooks/Strache to contend with.
The week’s remaining lineup consists of the Big Carp Challenge, Big 4 Challenge
and Total Weight Challenge. Last year these Challenges functioned as standalone
events, but in 2012 they will carry point values that combine to determine the
overall United States Carp angling champion. All Challenge events will be limited
to the first 40 registered anglers. |
