BARRA CLASSIC RESULTS 2006

Post by dogfish »

Partying the night away at the Banyan Farm on the Daly River. Even those who had not caught a lot of fish said they?d had a wonderful time at the tournament.

Dennis Pigott, who caught the first recaptured barra and has fished a lot of Classics, said this year was the best Barra Classic he?d been to!

The Arnhemland Nitro Boys romped home to take out Champion Team with 3885 points.
They were 1115 points clear of their nearest rivals, the Halco Warriors, who took out Champion Team, Mixed (local and interstate anglers on the team).

The Champion Local Team was Science Fiction, captained by John Roberts, with 2525 points.

The ever-competitive Pilbarians crept over the line to defeat the Port Hedland team Pflueger for the Champion Visiting Team honours.

The Champion Angler of the tournament was Justin Jones from Arnhemland Nitro Boys, with 1785 points. Among other prizes, Justin wins an invitation to the Rolex/IGFA Invitational Inshore Tournament in Florida next year.

Tournament Day 4
May 26th, 2006
The fish are growing at Daly River with the catch of the day being 109cm caught by Tom Langley from Last Line In. Tom waited 2 days before catching anything, so it was worth the wait! Tom also took out the Champion Angler for the day with 655 points. Tom made it a clean sweep by taking out the 3rd prize in the daily raffle. Ian Noble took out wood duck of the day by falling backwards and landing in the esky. Team members found it hard to pull him out as he had jammed himself in a beauty!

Son of special guest Dennis Lillie, Adam Lillie had only just dropped the lot in the drink five minutes before!

The competition is shaping up to be a tight tournament over the next few days.
