I was also an actual participant.

It was my brother that caught the winning fish. I had no bites at all during the three days and my brother had one bite, the one he got the fish on.

It was the first time we have fished a derby and the first time we have fished that area. We usually fish Possession/Shipwreck, Elliott Bay and Pt. Defiance.

It was a long, slow weekend but I can't say it was a bad weekend for us, we took home $3350 minus expenses.

The fishing was so bad that winning the derby was the ONLY thing that would make us even think of going back for next years derby.
