2nd annual Trophy Hunter steelhead derby-Jan.20/08
« on: January 20, 2008, 05:09:28 PM »

Just a brief report, hopefully Rick will fill in the details when he gets home if hes not too tired.

There was some good food, good friends, and a few lucky anglers had some good fishing, all the while raising some money for a worthy cause.

The river was in great shape and you couldnt have asked for better weather,there were 6 fish weighed in today with the biggest weighing in at 13lb 5oz. "those of you who guessed six contact Rod for prize pickup ;D"


leaderboard


the fish


the prizes

A big thanks to Rick for all the time and effort needed to put together another excellent event!

Any idea of the number of wild fish released today by derby participants?

How many people participated/how much money was raised? :)

"those of you who guessed six contact Rod for prize pickup ;D"

:o

I'm prized out. ;D

Nosey, so close, but third place is still very good. All that training during the week paid off. ;)

   Just a quick reply while I am still conscious..  ;D... We had a good turnout, almost 70 anglers, 6 fish weighed in and a ton of great food !!
was really nice to see how many people are willing to come out and donate to a great cause, it is nice to think that we as fisherpeople can still make a difference no matter how big it may be ..

  A big thanx goes out to those who volunteered their time to help me make this event a success.. you know who you are :)
it was very nice to meet with Frank Kwak of the SDA, I was happy to present to him $1425.00 !!

  Thank you very much to all those individuals and companies that provided the prizes for our derby, without you days like this would not be possible

there is much more to say but right now I need to get some rest ;)

what a great day we had'

cheers TH

Nope :) if I had I would have released it back ... wouldn't look good to enter fish two years running ;) that plus the fact that I only got to fish for 1/2 an hour lol

Thanks to you and all the anglers that were so generous in the donation to the SDA, the money I am sure will be put to good use.

Next year maybe have the derby in February and then I may not have my annual January cold. :-\

Good work once again by all that took part and to those that donated so many prizes. ;D ;D

HEEEY!  ;D

I said it was going to be six, based on my observations of the river conditions yesterday, and I was right!
What do I win? 8)

Maybe I should become a political advisor or something... :D

Think a BIG thanks needs to go to the Lady's that helped...set up, cooked and brought the food etc. Behind the scene but much appreciated by all us frozen anglers...

I would just like to thank everyone involved for another great outing and a good donation to a very worthy cause. An extra special thanks is definitely in order for Rick and all the special women who brought everything together and made it work so well. Thank You. It was a very fun day and I can't wait to do it again next year.  :D
