Radke’s fish weighed in at 21.72, holding down first place from Saturday afternoon through the end of the derby Sunday. More photos later. “I know I say it every year, but this year’s event was the best one to date,” said 2012 Event Chairman Terry Nemeth. “Everyone I’ve talked to this weekend was having a great time. Many indicated this was their favorite fishing derby in the series. This event is the result of hundreds of hours of planning and effort by our Board of Directors of the Anacortes Salmon Derby and members of the host organization, the Fidalgo-San Juan Islands Chapter of the Puget Sound Anglers. This charitable community event could not take place without the ongoing support from the Port of Anacortes, the generosity of local businesses, those businesses with ties to the fishing community, and an all-volunteer staff.”
