There was no Trophy hunter derby last year, and i havent heard from Rick on the forum in a long time. Is he still around? I know it took alot of work to get it off the gorund and may have been one of the reasons why it didnt happen last year. Maybe the site could put another one back together if there is enough interest and volunteers. I went too the last two years of the derby and they were great, met lots of people off the forum and the competitive part is always great.

So all the money raised from the 2009 derby went towards replacing the damaged salesse camera, but the camera hasnt been running for most of this year... :-\

Hey thats great to hear Rick. When I met you at the Vedder a month and a half ago you must of noticed I was wearing one of your special Trophy Hunter hats. I meant to ask you whether the derby for this year would be go but it slipped my mind. Bye the way that hatchery coho I caught that day weighed out at 18 lbs. 2 oz. Look forward to the derby this year Rick, Thanks !!!
