Port Angeles Halibut Derby Results

Here's a little rundown on the 11th Annual Port Angeles Halibut Derby that took place this past weekend. In speaking with Norm Metzler there was a total of 665 tickets sold for the event this year, slightly down from last year. Though the total participation was down there was still a good turn out and good fishing with around 100 halibut turned in for the derby. The largest fish caught was 138 pounds by Chuck Brown of Renton and taking home $5,000.00 for first prize. The top 30 places ranged from 138 pounds down to 45 pounds at the bottom. The fishermen were blessed with two days of very good weather.
