2013 winner: Julie Kelly (yes, that’s Julie and Grant from Getdanet and Kelly Pilchard fame) with a 30 and a half pounder. Close second place was Mike McGlogan with a 30 and 3/8 pounder (just a 1/8th of a pound smaller). Mike was one of the crew on the Green Monster.

Here’s a picture of Grant and Julie with their winning fish on the scale. The Lorne Halcomb memorial trophy, which Julie is holding, is awarded to the angler who brings in the first Tyee of the season.

We had a Tie in 2012!

The winning fish kept getting beat by a pound or two every tide. Mike Sell (yup, the same Mike & Jan team that brought in a 34 pounder the day before the derby started) brought in a 29 pounder and then just moments before the end of the Derby Chris McManus brought in another 29 pounder, so they shared first and second prizes and each won $2,000. Bob Beard was the winning fisherman of Jack and Jill 2011, with the first Tyee of the season – a 31.5 pounder.  In second place with a 26.25 pounder was Caroline Shillito.
