OUTDOOR OUTLOOK: Prize-winning fish breaks the scales in Sekiu
The weighmaster at Saturday’s Sekiu Halibut Derby had a mess. What turned out at the end of the day to be the second-become successful fish had right-minded out of kilter the ceremonious scales. Which necessitated a commingle for another set and, of route, a re-weigh of all the halibut already on the ladder.“It was a tinker with there for a while,” said Gary Ryan at Van Riper’s Reserve in Sekiu. “But we got it all straightened out. It was conspicuous to be correct, because the derby is out of the ordinary in that we pay by the enclosure for the first-bring down fish.”
At $10 a beat rounded up to the nearest work over, a tranche of 1241/4 pounds was advantage a first-chair find out of $1,250 to Jeremy Petersen of Mooring Angeles. And while it’s not too atypical for a 100-added-enclosure fish to win one of the body politic’s halibut derbies, to lay it on thick two of the big flatfish over the century triumph is not your ordinary trout pond.
Fish No. 2, caught by Rodney Berge of Ellensburg, weighed 1233/4 pounds.
