The Wild Carp Club of Houston 2012 Season

I apologize that it's been awhile since I've been able to contribute to this blog, but I'm going to do my best to keep up with it.  The inaugural season of the Wild Carp Club of Houston was a rising success.  Not only did it help the normal bunch of us friends get together and fish, it added a bit of competition as well - which made it exciting.  Everybody did their very best to attend each event - and we were able to introduce new anglers to the sport of carp fishing.  Below are some of the highlights of the season: 

Justin's Smallmouth Buffalo - 24 lbs

• Justin Mary came back during the last event of the season at Tom Bass Park with a 24.375 lb Smallmouth Buffalo to capture the largest Smallmouth Buffalo of the season and put him atop the Big 4 fish of the season with 72lbs.  He won a Gilbert Huxley carp rod and a Trakker NXG Bait Bucket.  He also won the event and 2.2lbs of boilies.  This fish also helped him storm up from behind into 3rd place for a voucher to an upcoming Wild Carp Companies tournament! 

Nick James with the only mirror carp of the season

• Nick James won three of our 6 events (even though he only attended 5) and took first place.  He also caught the only mirror carp and the largest common.  He won 2.2lbs of boilies on three occasions, a voucher to an upcoming Wild Carp Companies tournament, and a membership to Carp Anglers Group! 

New to carp angler Minh with a nice grass carp

• We introduced 6 new anglers to carp fishing in our 6 events.  Many of them have decided to make carp fishing a part of their lives, whether they are going to do so at the WCC events or on their own.  This is the best highlight for me!  

I want to thank all of the companies that sponsored us this past season:  Big Carp Tackle, Wild Carp Companies, and Jason Black (for his boilies).  If you'd like to sponsor our 2013 season, we are actively looking for sponsors for our events as well as season long prizes (like largest common carp, largest smallmouth buffalo, first mirror carp, first koi, etc).  Please contact me by leaving a message in the comments.  Thanks in advance!
