American Carp Society Team Nationals ' The 2004 ACS National Championship
event was held at Hominy Lake in Oklahoma on October 27th through to the
30th.

The Podium (picture) ended up with: Brian Capien & Mark Reece (3rd place team with 56 lb 14 oz), Paul Pezalla & Al St. Cyr (1st Place with 168 lbs 15oz), Zach Van Fleet & Brian Nordberg (2nd place with 129 lb 7 oz). Hominy has been a prolific big fish water for several years now, countless low thirties and even more 20's have been captured. It is one of the most challenging venues that we have encountered and is a perfect destination for this type of event with the surrounding foliage in its full glory at this time of year.

This was the first year for the ACS National Championship. The 2005 World Carp Cup (WCC) will also be hosted by The American Carp Society. Participation will be open to the public and ACS membership is not required. Further information can be obtained at events@americancarpsociety.com
