Barr Lake Blast III - May 17, 2009
The Barr Lake Blast III surpassed many expectations. 20 teams turned out for the first COBF tournament of 2009 and quickly made their presence known. The weather during the tournament was fantastic; however the days prior were fairly windy – clouding the water pretty well. Yet you wouldn’t know it from the 250 carp weighing more than 2,300 lbs. taken over the course of the day.During morning registration each team received a sponsor catalog package that included special coupons from Sportman’s Warehouse and Dick’s Sporting Goods. Percentage cash payouts and sponsor donated prizes were awarded to the winners of each catagory, as well as a new category for the top shorebound team. An additional prize drawing was held for all non-winning participants.
We would like to thank everyone who came out to participate, Bar Lake State Park and its staff, our generous tournament sponsors who donate the valuable prizes, as well as NOS Energy Drink & Hammonds Candies for providing free drinks & chocolate treats to participants.
All of the carp harvested in the tournament were donated to the Wild Animal Sanctuary to feed Grizzly bears, wolves, tigers and a myriad of other animals under their care.
