The Winner of the 2000 tournament is....SCOTTIE! With two beautiful chrome Kings one going 40 and the other 45 pounds! Jimmie not to be outdone put up a nice battle with a 40plus pound king himself and bonus for species points.
I still think I won the tournament with my catch but the guys insisted that my catch didn't qualify since it wasn't a salmon. Hmmmm...I still think I did better!
Jim was the undisputed leader for the sockeye (red) salmon teaching all the locals just how its done up here!
Take a
look at these nice fish!

Scottie with a nice 45pounder taken at 10:30pm near Eagle Rock Backtrolling Spin & Glo and eggs. A perfect net job by Rudy! Of course! Actually it is the hardest time of the fight and Scottie handled everything perfectly. That's why I was so amazed that Scottie and Jim could read the water and handle the boat to land two awesome Kings on their own the very next day!!
