From what I understand 2 out of the top 3 biggest fish were pulled out of the Cow by the confluence with the Toutle.

Seems to me that the areas in which you can fish and enter a fish into the derby are too broad. Of course how could you ever tell where a fish came from, but I think they should limits the areas to the Snohomish, and areas 8-1 & 2, 9, & 10 for next year.... or at least state that in the announcement.

Kinda sucks cause I know I could have drove all day to target hogs down south....but this is the EVERETT Derby, not the LONGVIEW derby. That's why I fished the sound.

Editing post to thank all the organizations and people who contributed to the derby this year. All the people I fished with had alot of fun.
