A 16-year-old from California, visiting Alaska for the first time, took home the top prize in Wrangell’s King Salmon Derby.
Trevor Acker hooked the winning chinook on June 17th near Found Island, south of Wrangell. It weighed in at 36.9 pounds.
Acker won the top prize of $3,000 for the catch.
This was the first year since 2017 that Wrangell ran a king salmon derby. Planned derbies for 2018, 2019 and 2020 were switched to target coho salmon, over concerns about king salmon returns in those years.
