Not quite...I only lost $49.
The entry fee was $100, but the skunk bet was another $50. Not a very lucrative bet, eh?

Sunrise on the bay shortly before lines-in (and shortly after a boat was disqualified for calling in two fish 40 minutes before the derby actually started. Ha!):
The first fish on deck, landed only about 20 seconds before the second fish on deck:
Big Jim's two fish:
The captain hard at work, navigating our vessel in obviously crowded, rough conditions:

If I have to bring the bowpicker down to Homer you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be there next year!!!!
I'm one envious man and thats an ugly way to be, so I'm gonna turn this ugly envy into something positive, so nice fish guys!!! (grrrr)

Quick correction, My Girlfriends biggest fish was just over 18lbs, not 20. My error.

Hey if somebody has time could you run down to the harbor and pry his cold fingers off the wheel and reel in his downriggers. Break it to him gentley, but tell muttley the derbys over

See that green Hewescraft behind Jim in my 3rd picture? I'm not positive, but I think that might be Muttley. Perhaps he's still chasing those kings.

"did he ever return, no he never returned, and his fate is still unlearned...
he may troll forever off the bluffs of Homer he's the mutt who never returned"
(apologies to bessie lomax and the kingston trio.<grin>)

I've got to convince my wife's cousin to take us with them. Last year they got first and this year 7th and winner of kids or youth division.
He is either a lucky captain or he has it dialed in......

I'd venture to say the latter coho slayer. The man sounds like he's got it going on when comes to pressure fishing. Some of us rise to the occasion when the heat is on while others practice all year for the big one and, uh...well look at muttley for instance he'll knock the bottom out of half the cook inlet stocks 24/7/364 and that infamous number 365 in march comes along and its notoriously been a mofo.
