The 2026 Moses Lake Carp Classic brought a fun and competitive day of bowfishing to Moses Lake despite challenging weather conditions. Held on Saturday, May 16, at Connelly Park in Moses Lake, this year’s tournament welcomed 23 boats and 55 bowfishers from across the region. While the weather wasn’t ideal, spirits stayed high throughout the event, and competitors still put together an impressive day on the water.
By the end of the tournament, participants had shot a total of 147 carp weighing in at 1,587 pounds. The largest fish of the day tipped the scales at an impressive 23.6 pounds and was shot by Bricyn Kualii and Hunter Foultner. In the Big 10 category, the winning team of Kenny Vansteenkist and Nick Jamison brought in an impressive 139.6 pounds of carp. The duo also earned the award for Most Carp Shot after hauling in 23 fish during the tournament.
The Moses Lake Carp Classic continues to be a great opportunity for outdoor recreation, friendly competition, and community involvement while helping remove invasive carp from Moses Lake.
Events like this would not be possible without the support of dedicated sponsors, volunteers, participants, and community members who continue to make the tournament a success year after year. We are already looking forward to another great event in 2027. Stay tuned for next year’s tournament date and details!
