Good luck to you. It looks pretty snotty out there.
It was very bumpy out there today. Wind waves of 3'-4', and bigger, with lots of white-caps The Everett boat launch was a total zoo, as usual.
We landed one smallish 5lb coho, and lost a huge fish. Had him on for 2-3 minutes, and he made two line-peeling runs, and then a very big sea lion decided that the fish was his.
After the sea lion took the salmon, he had the flasher stuck in his mouth. He was making all kinds of noises and shaking his head violently.......served him right !!
Tomorrow will be a better day !!!
When we bagged it about noon, the top fish on the board was a 16lb fish.

My son and I caught 17 today, most were 4-5.5 lbs, just kept releasing trying to find good derby fish. Bite mostly died about 9:30a, we finally called it about 1:30p when it started dumping rain. Back at it tomorrow.

That 16 lb fish is the biggest derby fish I can remember in a number of years. Giant fish.

Do they weigh in the round or gilled and gutted?

One year I caught a 14.15lber and took 21st place. In the Everett derby. That’s been about 10 years ago but 16 isn’t huge for this derby

16 is huge these days. Last couple winners have been 13. 2nd place this year is 13.24, over three pounds smaller. Last year the winner was 13.8, and 2021 was like 13.3. Both 2020 and 2019 were 11 lb fish. That 16 is a huge outlier. Fish are way smaller than they were 10 years ago. 21st today is a 10.4 lb fish.
