I know of three of the prizes so far.
1st Place is a Jon Boat with a small (9.9hp?) 4-stroke outboard on it.
2nd Place, I believe, is the Carp-Mobile.
3rd Place is a wide-bodied canoe.
I'll see if I can get pictures taken of these prizes and post them.
Steve, you should drag Ken down with you.

I'll use anything that'll help! If Flagman makes it down here and wins the boat, he better give it to me cuz he doesn't need another one.

There are a few carp bait recipes on the recipe board as well. Feel free to check them out.

Couldn't find one of the main ingredients in the small size so I substituted. Bad idea. I didn't get one bite all day. [:/]
Then again, all the prime fishing spots were taken by the time Sarah and Duncan were ready to go. I was up until 2:30am and was up and ready by 6:30am. They weren't ready until the contest had already started. I just about left without them but I couldn't because they have a lot of other activities for kids that aren't fishing.
On the positive side, I entered a raffle for a much nicer boat than the one that was the prize at the contest. Plus, if all goes well, I should be getting a decent 1966 Pipestone Runabout in a week or two for only $350. This includes a 45hp outboard.

Largest was just over 14 lbs. They were reporting on this on Fox News this past Thursday morning and the DNR said a smaller carp to come out of this area is 6-8 lbs with the larger ones in the 14-18 lb range. I should be able to get a complete list of winners and the sizes of the fish. By the time I got there, there was at least 6 fish up on the board. All the "smallest" ones were between 1 and 2 lbs. I would have been happy just to catch a bullhead but I couldn't even get one of them to bite on a nightcrawler!
