Eric Reynolds was first up to weigh station on Friday at 9:15 am. His 21.13 was still wiggling on the scales and dominated the top spot until late Friday afternoon!   Eric and his fishing buddies were participating on a Silver Horde Pro-Staff boat. This was their first time fishing in the Roche Harbor Derby ~ think they said, ‘they’ll be back!’  - Contributed photo
