little champagne party with Rodge the dodge and Tom Wright from ATT tackle, who were great neighbours to us, and a few others joined us as well. Tom, many thanks for the champagne! That evening we caught 2 more carp and
later that night, Ross came to interview us with the whole media team to conclude the event in our swim. After the firework signalled the end of the
event, Tom jumped into the water with all of his clothes on which meant that we hadn’t managed to keep anything dry at all!... Unfortunately, everything got wet when the rain came.
Back at bivvy city we met with our German team colleagues and congratulated each other. We were all very excited and looking

forward to the prize giving at the closing ceremony. We were very proud to be the first German fishermen to win the WCC and as we had won the team event also, we were especially happy!
On stage, after the first fish award we
received, it was almost like being a film star and being photographed and interviewed by media people was exciting. We had decided to stick together from the beginning to the end and that’s what we did. Today, we are in pole position on the participants list for WCC 2012 and, sometimes, we still cannot believe it, but the many nice pictures and great video help us to keep the memories alive. Tom, Yvonne and myself are very much looking forward to defending the title in Italy. It will certainly not be easy, fishing against 159 other teams! We think that with a new lake and a new
challenge, an important step to create a more open competition has been made because Madine has areas that don’t produce many fish. Our first preparations for Italy are up and running already... we would like to take some more time for the preparation period this time! We wish all participants lots of luck, a great time and have fun by the water!
German precision.. A remarkable and a finely engineered result closes proceedings at Madine as Thomas and Jens lift the champions trophy
