Carna'Der 2025: GiantFish on the podium at Lac du Der
The 2025 edition of the Carna'Der competition confirmed its status as a must-attend event for predator fishing in France. Held on Lac du Der, the tournament brought together a strong field of teams battling it out over two demanding days.
Among the standout performances of the weekend, the one delivered by GiantFish, represented by William and Philippe Courte, stood out for its remarkable consistency, culminating in a 2nd place in the overall rankings.
A national-scale competition
The Carna'Der format is based on lure fishing from boats, with rankings determined by predator catches. Zone management, adapting to weather conditions and reading the body of water are key factors in an event like this.
In such a high-level context, the slightest mistake can cost several places, which further increases the value of results built over time.
A 2nd place built on consistency
William and Philippe Courte followed a methodical approach, focusing on consistency and securing points. An excellent opening session allowed them to position themselves quickly, before consolidating their ranking on the second day.
This strategy, combined with an accurate reading of fish activity, earned them a spot on the second step of the podium among more than a hundred competing teams.
A well-mastered technical approach
On a body of water as vast as Lac du Der, success depends on the ability to repeat an effective pattern. The GiantFish team managed to identify productive areas and adapt their technical choices as conditions evolved.
This structured approach perfectly illustrates the demands of modern sport fishing, where consistency prevails over the search for a single moment of glory.
Conclusion
Carna'Der 2025 will be remembered as a particularly competitive edition. The 2nd place secured by William and Philippe Courte confirms the strength of the GiantFish project and its ability to perform in top-tier competitions.
