Congrats Lipripper. Hope the weather is good for you.

We did our wedding pics on the rocks at Cattle Point and I snuck a spinning rod into the trunk of the limo. While the girls were getting photos I made a few casts in my tux.
Made for some funny photos when the photographer caught on and took pics of my new wife shaking her finger at me. LOL

May I suggest some additional vows...
For better or for worse...in sickness and health... in fishing season and hunting season...

Biggest fish was 40 lbs., second and third were 30.5 and 30.4 lbs respectively. There was 5 more fish weighed this year then last at 125 (nothing under 15 lbs allowed) and about 300 lbs more in overall catch weight. All in all is was pretty slow fishing with a lot of guys not catching anything over the 2 days. The banquet and prizes were as usual great with some extra prizes thrown in for the 25th year of the derby.

We only got two small springs the biggest being 12 lbs and only saw 4 fish netted around ove the 2 days. Still, it was a great time and lots of $ raised for salmon enhancement.
