The trophy was a crystal cut glass gem, five of which were made for the event and for those who took part. The event took place last weekend on Lake Alfarofia, Elvas Portugal.
The first fish to be caught during the event, and for that matter the first fish ever caught in a World Carp Classic event from the Iberiena peninsula, fell to the rod of John Tattersall on the 2nd day from Peg 6. The fish was a welcome one after an initial quiet 24hrs....
All the Anglers who came and took part in the qualifier were very impressed with the facilities and the hospitality the event organisers and Lake Alfarofia had to offer. So much so that many of the Anglers will return to the lake and fish again!
During the event a total of 5 fish were caught, and sadly many fish were lost!
The overall winners of the event, with 3 fish taken from peg 6, were Graham Noon and John Tattersall. The team managed close to 50lb of fish from their swim. They took 1st prize of goods supplied from Dynamite Baits. The pair will go on to Lac de Madine to fish the World Carp Classic final in 2010.
The qualifying event organisers Andy Macgregor and Peter Staggs would like to thank the venue owner Joao Carlos for his support with the event. Also many thanks to Dynamite Baits and PB Products for their kind sponsorship and, last but not least, thanks to all of those who took part in the first World Carp Classic qualifying event in the Iberian peninsula.
It was clear everyone thoroughly enjoyed taking part. We very much look forward to seeing the majority of those who took part in the event next year and probably a handful of new faces too!
We hope that the luck holds out for Graham and John in September when they go to France and fish the final on Lac de Madine, France!

The biggest fish, a stunning common carp of 29lb 2oz was caught by Kelvin Ball from peg 1. Kelvin and his team mate Paul Williams were delighted with the common carp and their prize supplied by PB Products for biggest fish caught during the event.
