Patrick Davis is in the lead for the $6,000 grand prize with a 35-pound 8 ounce fish, but his lead far from safe. On Saturday a fisherman who wasn’t in the derby pulled up to the barge and weighed his 47-pound 8 ounce fish! (SSA photo)
After one weekend of fishing, the Sitka Salmon Derby is still a horse race so to speak.
A 36-pounder is at the top of the leaderboard, but the smart money says there are bigger fish out there, after a non-ticket holder stopped by to weigh his 48-pound fish.
Note: The 66th Annual Sitka Salmon Derby continues over one more weekend, June 5th and 6th. John McCrehin has a special thanks for the people who helped him on the barge over the past three days: His daughters Marsha and Melissa, Randy Gluth, Darryl Ault, and Dennis from Sitka Sound Seafoods.
