2014 TEAM EVENT HANS SISSINGH: CARP CONNECTIONS
TEAM CARP CONNECTIONS Company Captain
Ever since the World carp classic came into existance there have been side competitions. I remember the casting
(Century) and throwing stick (Cobra) competitions at Lac Amance, the Gladiator “Pull the braid” powered by Indy Line, the Gladiator “Lift the keep sack” by JRC and the hilarious “Wader run” by Shakespeare at Lac de Madine. Also great fun was the golf tournament on the course at Madine powered by “Carp World
magazine”. Oh, and of course, there was the “Reel-in
challenge” sponsored by Mitchell during the Catfish event at the Ebro and the football match where Ross lost use of a leg… last year on the beach at Bolsena we witnessed the Hobbie kayak race and tasted from the World-record biggest goulash! All of those were great initiatives, and hallelujah to
the sponsors who made it all possible. The oldest and certainly most exiting side event, however, must be the “Team competition” sponsored by Carp Connections, and it still is. The WCC-team competition was organized for
three pairs (six anglers). Not surprisingly, as it was the ‘International pairs of golf’ that inspired Ross Honey to introduce to the world a brand new anglers endurance formula for pairs, called the Classic. But angling for carp is not golf. Once one fisherman
goes out in the boat, the other had to stay behind to guard the rods. The man in the boat could ideally use assistance to row the boat however. Soon after that introduction, Ross decided to allow a so-called “team runner”. Now the angler in the boat had assistance whilst the other was on shore with the other rods. So from then on, a team contains nine men. How frustrating it was for the “Runners”, who are
mostly carp anglers themselves, to assist but not fish for real! You may watch but are not allowed to hold the rod yourself. Therefore the decision to let the third man become 100% angler added some great opportunities for all competitors, even financially! Plus, why not still allow a helper who can assist the three men to do what they ‘re best at. So, from this year a team can consist of up to nine anglers and twelve
this year a team can consist of up to nine anglers and twelve including helpers!
including helpers! In 2013 the Team competition was won by Team
Dynamite, co-sponsored by Shimano and Ace. They had won a Holiday to the high standard Fishing Resort Du Der. Here they fished lake De la Haije. Although the teams kept on growing in the number
of members, Carp Connections persisted that all members of the team should win a Holiday. Where in 2001 there were no less than 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize, so 18 holidays were sponsored, now in 2014 the Dutch tour operator gives away 36 holidays to the lovely Northern French Resort Du Der. Make sure you do a last minute subscription for a
team. Even if you don ‘t have mutual sponsors three pairs/ trio’s can form a Team, name it and compete for this great Holiday prize table for a fishing holiday to a great resort with it’s lovely fish. Enjoy the event! You will find all Carp Connections sponsor contact details
