The fishermen were treated to some awesome weather and everyone tried to catch the “big one”. Eventually, the first and second placed carp were separated by a mere 10 ounces!

Third place went to Brandon Jenkins with a carp of 2.24kg. The biggest barbel went to Justin Sutherland with a fish of 4.81kg. The Shellhole would like to thank all the participants and hopefully next time there can be even more fishermen.
A special thanks must go to Playbill Naren Naidoo for all his dedication and hard work in putting this event together and ensuring that the competition went off well.
Also a big thanks to Ephraim Mavuso from Ezemvelo Wildlife and all the honorary officers for ensuring that the event complied to fishing regulations.
