The annual Redneck Fishing Tournament attracted quite a crowd in Bath, Illinois.
Over 50 teams from all over the Midwest and as far away as the state of Washington brought their fishing nets to try to snare the elusive flying fish- the flying Asian carp. The event began as a small town event but national media attention has made the event a big deal and a big party.
