It may take a 30-pound or better king salmon to win the 39th annual Kewaunee/Door County Salmon Tournament with multiple 30-pound-plus kings already being caught the past two months. The Sturgeon Bay to Kewaunee stretch has produced a handful of 30-pound-plus giants this week alone, just prior to the tournament, according to tournament director Kevin Naze. The two largest included a 35-pound, 10-ounce king on a charter out of Algoma and a 38.58-pounder reeled in Thursday morning (July 22).
