One more day to go.

Thanks to Rapala & Custom Fishing Solutions for bringing the newest 10" Salmon filet knife suitably engraved with Veterans Salmon Derby logo in time for this year's event.

With the added logo they turned out wonderful.

2 days let's go.

Just sent out an email to all registered boat captains. We have 43 confirmed boats who have donated their time and boats to host a Veteran or 2 on a beautiful morning of fishing. Thank you to each and everyone of them without the generous efforts we couldn't do this event.

With over $20,000 in awards, prizes and thank yous to be given out this year we are extremely excited for this year's event.

It's not too late to register your boat to host a Veteran or 2.
