This was the first time I fished the Sound. Man it was pretty tough sledding out there. I managed 8-10 juvenile salmon, mostly Chinook. I went out with a local and we hit it hard. The biggest thing we landed was a 36" Dog Fish that was hooked in the dorsal fin. The most rewarding thing for me as a sponsor was watching the Kids division prizes being awarded. The 15 foot skiff was awarded to a little guy that couldn't have been over 6 years old. Man what a feeling to watch that little guy react to the news. The Derby was a great success even though the bite wasn't that great. Many of the fisherman I talked to say that the bite should improve in the near future. It was a honor to be a part of the Derby.
