duration of the event were weighed.
After weighing, all fish were released,
with some being revived in a holding
tank before being taken back to the
river. Notably, tigerfish (considered
to be under pressure in this part of the
river) were not eligible for the main
team points positions, applying only
to the overall biggest fish prize and
individual specie category.
The biggest fish of a species
overall scoring the most points on the
factor system, won the grand prize of
a boat and trailer sponsored by West
Coast Marine, fitted with a 50HP
outboard motor. This was won by
Deon de Waal with a catfish weighing
16kg.
I s l a n d Vi e w h a v e p r o v e d
themselves a worthy venue for this
annual event, transforming into a mini
city for almost a week. Congratulations
to Mike and Steph and their team, as
well as the organisers for a well run
tournament and superb venue.
