The prize money for the 2026 Great Carp Hunt will be a bounty program. For each fish a team catches, they receive $3. The Utah Lake Authority will also put $1.50 into a grand prize pot that will be awarded to the team that catches the most carp during the season. The more fish you catch, the bigger the pot.
