Wild Carp Club of Indiana - 2012
Wild Carp Companies welcomes you to the 2012 season of the Wild Carp Club of Indiana.
There are five sessions scheduled for the 2012 season. All sessions are free to attend and Carp anglers of all experience levels are welcome.
Anglers will earn scores based on the weight and type of Carp caught during club sessions. Scores will accrue over the course of the season and year-end prizes will be awarded.
Participants must be at least 16 years of age and hold a valid Indiana State Fishing License in order to be eligible for end of year tournament voucher prizes. Children under 16 are welcome to attend and compete, although they will only be eligible for end of year tackle prizes.
Anglers are welcome to arrive and depart at any time during club sessions—just check in and out with club directors.
Wild Carp Club may be competitive in nature, but it is mostly about having fun and meeting fellow anglers. Always maintain good sportsmanship and be courteous to other club members.

Scoring System
1 point/ounce for Non-Bonus Fish
Non-bonus fish will be what the event organizers determine to be the most prevalent Carp genetic variation found in the event venue. Non-bonus Fish will be Mirror/Common Carp or Smallmouth Buffalo—depending on venue.
Example
16 lb, 2 oz Common Carp
Weight converted to ounces = 258 ounces
The Common Carp is worth 258 points
2 points/ounce for Bonus Fish
At each event a Carp genetic variation (the variation less prevalent to the venue) will be designated to be worth 2 points per ounce. Bonus Fish will be Grass/Mirror/Common Carp, Koi or Smallmouth Buffalo—depending on venue.
13-3 LB Grass Carp
Weight converted to ounces = 211 ounces
211 oz. X 2 bonus factor = 422 points
The fish is worth 422 points
