When we headed for southwest Whidbey at 6:30, I was surprised that it wasn't that choppy. When we headed back for Edmonds at 8:30 without fish in my 19' open bow (with the canvas left on the front) I thought we might have made a big mistake going out at all. The chop was up to 4' in places and it took over an hour to make it back. When we went out again, it was absolutely beautiful by about 11:15 and we put three fish in the boat. The biggest weighed 13 lbs in the boat and 10 lbs 10 oz cleaned on the scale (photo below) but didn't make the top 10. The winners ranged from 11 lbs to 13 something cleaned and there were a lot of fish caught and brought in. I guess my 14 lber uncleaned from yesterday might have put me in the money. Kudos to the derby folks!
