4:53
advantage over some of these guys
4:55

5:37
know a lot of people that learned a lot
5:39
from last year that are going to bring a
5:41
bunch of new skills you know this year
5:42
so it's going to be a tough competition
5:44
but I got hope with the battle lines
5:47
drawn and the contestants leaving with
5:49
their arms filled with complimentary
5:50
Coleman loot the anticipation has

early riser so I figured I'd just have a
6:39
little bit of sleeping and let let Jason
6:41
get down here and uh do all the spotting
6:43
work and and surely enough I got here
6:45
two hours later and he was sat on his
6:47
chair nearly asleep he was like worn out
6:49
with all the work he was doing right
6:51
Jason yeah and all he did was just show
6:53
up and threw a rod in the water and that
6:55
in fact that's all I've done all morning
6:56

morning so far we came down here around
8:00
just after 5:00 a.m. within the first

8:54
Fish now we have something to way I
8:57
trust yes so this is our first fish
9:00
weigh in at this year's
9:03
event
9:07
baby let's
9:11
see standing clear 193 193 are we all
9:16
agreed I see
9:19
193 that's it you boys are official fish
9:21

9:23
and healthy we'll watch you guys release
9:27
it that's a great that beauty fish woo
9:32
nice look at that that's a release yes
9:34
and they can say they're in first place
9:36
right now right now you are in first
9:38
place this is a a serious run for sure
9:41
look at that these fish are just chunks
9:43
aren't
9:48
they hey everybody one of the things
9:50
about these carp fishermen they're tight
9:53
lipped do you want to talk about and all
9:55
that no no okay you thought other
9:58
fishermen didn't want to tell you how
9:59
they were catching their fish while the
10:01
carp fishermen are a whole breed onto
10:03
itself and they just don't like to talk
10:05
period what's the one secret formula
10:08
that you and your partner have got that
10:10
nobody else knows about can you keep me
10:12
secret so can
10:19
I so I'm going to try and get some
10:22
advice and some tips from one of the
10:24
Masters so Yoda what do you think no no
10:28
Yoda it's just me and you the camera's
10:30
off now we need to talk come on from one
10:33
master to another tell me their secrets
10:35
will you well like I said totally tight
10:38
Li unfortunately we can't you know tell
10:41
you what our magic bait's going to be
10:42
for this
10:44
tournament that's the other thing that
10:46
these guys have got this is a carp live
10:48
well which is probably a lot more
10:51
comfortable than a conventional live
10:54
well in the boat because it's soft and
10:56
they'll put them in here while they set
10:57
up the waist scales like we're going to
10:58
do and then from there they go right
11:00
into the way bag so I mean these fish
11:03
are treated better than some people that
11:05
I know I'm telling
11:07
you here we
11:09
go
11:10
192 nice with a second fish in the books
11:14
the fishing Canada carp Cup leaderboard
11:16
begins to take shape all right Gentlemen
11:18
let's weigh this
11:19
monster with most teams reporting at
11:22
least one fish the officials must visit
11:24
each Peg to weigh and record each new
11:26
catch 1813
11:29
nice see you
11:32
sweetheart at this early stage the
11:35
battle for top spots comes down to a
11:37
matter of mere ounces so you've got one
11:40
fish one
11:42
fish 16 on the nose good work boys and
11:47
so for any team to secure a strong
11:49
foothold or to establish themselves as
11:51
serious
11:53
contenders 1 it'll take something
11:57
big real big
12:01
oh this is last year's Champions
12:04
oh these two gentlemen weighed in over
12:08
1,800 lb last year to win this event so
12:12
I would imagine they've probably caught
12:14
about 100 already today we're about to
12:16
find
12:16
out Jared 100 fish today no not 100 no
12:21

to be our first big surprise
13:01

13:08
it this is a a serious run for sure our
13:11
resident way Master Len and his newly
13:13
appointed Bag Boy Nick have their arbs
13:16
put to the test as they hoist fish after
13:19
enormous fish onto the
13:21

13:24
become the team to
13:26
be to challenge these budding Champions
13:30

13:33
something truly
13:36
special that's crazy I'm dying inside
13:39
you know that oh yeah oh my God oh my
13:43
God oh my
13:50
God to get to today's fishing Canada
13:52
carb cup we first drove East on Highway
13:54
401 we then took Dickinson Drive South
13:57
to Highway 2 at Engleside
13:59
the stretch along Highway Tu from
14:01
Engleside to the town of Longo is a carp
14:03
Angler's
14:06
Dream as our crew arrives at Peg 15 mere
14:09
moments before the sun sets on day one
14:12
we finally capture our first on camera C
14:15
fight okay let's not put any pressure on
14:17
it okay albe it an unusual
14:19
one and a boy Norm I knew we could count
14:22
on you brother this feels like a good
14:24
fish what's a bad fish feel like nor no
14:27
bad fish buddy take your time Norm we
14:30
get to witness a pair of Master carp
14:32
Anglers at work just a nice steady solid
14:35
weight he's strong that's for sure you
14:39
guys don't seem to have a lot of
14:40
obstructions here in your w we oh is it
14:43
full of weeds see from that marker there
14:46
yeah everything till the end of the bay
14:50
is all yeah it's
14:52
weeds like this a meter and a half
14:56
wow everything so how is he going to
14:59
drag this fish through those weeks we
15:00
see I don't yes a gained a whole lot
15:02
since we've been
15:06
here you're not even moving is he not at
15:09
the moment
15:10
no oh
15:15
boy look at how he's giving them slack
15:18
yeah yeah slack right off yeah you and I
15:20
be dying right now oh not not easy to
15:24
do so what Norm's doing right now which
15:27
is something that most of us would never
15:29
dream of doing by the way when I say
15:31
most of us those of us who are not as
15:33
familiar with carp angling as Norm is
15:35
he's actually giving the fish some slack
15:38
because he he wants the fish to swim out
15:40
of whatever he's caught up in which is
15:42
probably that weed bed right so he's
15:45
giving him slack so the fish can kind of
15:46
move out the other way and pull himself
15:49
free my biggest fear would always be you
15:53
know giving him slack if the Hook's not
15:54
buried oh the Hook's buried the hook is
15:57
buried I got a good okay hopefully all
16:00
right then you're doing the right
16:02
thing okay if you're worried about me
16:04
giving him a little bit of flack oh my
16:06
God I can't even watch what you're going
16:07

this wow man the GU man's got nerves of
16:20
Steel that's crazy I'm dying inside you
16:23
know that oh yeah the only other option
16:26
is to put more pressure on him and then
16:29
that's when I could lose him you do Norm
16:31
that we have to weigh the rest of the
16:32

16:33
