    Here's the first fish weighed in today, a 24 pounder caught by Colleen Hoburg. I'm told that after this picture was taken it took ten minutes to get her to let go of the fish. I wouldn't let go, either. As you can see from the photo, it wasn't a particularly nice day on the water with a stiff southeast breeze in the morning and a 5 to 7 foot west swell. All the more reason to hang on tight. This picture and the fish were taken in 80 feet of water off of Bird Rock. See the red on the salmon's belly? That tells you how close to the bottom the fish was laying.


    These grinning young men from Lodi caught their limits of salmon "somewhere" on "something". We know the boat left and returned to the Landing but beyond that all we get is smiles and shrugs. The big fish, caught by Roy Woltkamp, weighed 30 pounds. At least it looks like there's a possibility of a few fish around for the derby on Saturday.
