KK Meeting '25 about Cassien taking place tomorrow!

After the fantastic Montluçon show last weekend it is now time for the OG meeting we're setting up tomorrow March 2nd Kempisch Kanaal Meeting organised by Forgotten Flavours, Geertooms & Monkey Climber! This year's topic: the mighty Cassien!

We'll have a mad line up of (inter)national speakers for you all, including Steve Briggs (carp angler), Simon Crow Carp Fishing, John van Eck & Raf Van Opstal! Time schedule, click here.

In the same Hall there's a photo exhibition with loads of footage from now and then, including some rare and even unseen gems like this 1986 twenty kilo plus mirror caught by our Belgian friend Marnik Sierens. See below. The main pic for this Blog piece is an early 90s 26 kilos Cassien monster for our local friend Ivan Vanpraet.

In the other hall there's drinks, food, small carpy booths (floorplan here). There will also be a dedicated KK stand this year with show only items such as Steve Briggs and Simon Crow pop ups, a collector Cassien bobbin board, a Cassien Queen of Carp hoodie (teaser below), etc.

Entry damage = 10 euros, every visitor will receive a free tub of Cassien Monster Crab firm hookbaits, inspired by the Hutchy MC Reds from back in the day (while stock lasts). Kiddo's below 18 FREE, still receiving the free firm hookbaits.

Lastly we would like to say special thanks to everyone who went to extra lengths to give us their old footage to scan. Can't name you all but it means a lot to us! Also special thanks to Lolo, Thib, Cheix and Nash France + the Thinking Anglers/Sticky boys for their recent top notch footage.
