I had a great deckhand on board and the Sir-Vivor II was lucky enough to win it with a 30 lb spring. We also came in 5th with a 24.5 lber.
It was a fantastic day we had 5 huge springs on.
The North Van Firefighters tournament was fantastic , 160 enterants and 72 salmon brought in, mostly big springs. I think the second and third fish weighted in over 27 lbs and the 4th 25 lbs or so ......
Most of all they were saying the proceeds from the tournament to the Kids charity is expected to exceed last years amount of 16K
Thats Fantastic !!!
Again another THANKS AND JOB WELL DONE shout out to the North Van Firefighters for another great tournament !!!

 

[therise]

What a stellar derby! The weather was fantastic and the fish were more than cooperative, with over 70 fish weighed in including a tyee!

This year we were able to raise $18 000! This is our biggest amount to date.
