Good post.  Here's a little more info:  https://www.ellsworthamerican.com/sports-outdoors-in-maine/the-chesuncook-salmon-derby/

Personally, I don't see the point of awarding the largest salmon if the purpose is to cull the stunted fish and improve the fishery overall.

It is a fun day when one can go out and land 10 to 15 Salmon in a morning  in a  short troll .  for a twenty dollar bill one could go home with  500 to 1000   bucks .Not bad for a couple of days fishing.

Doesn't Scott win it every year ?

Any news on how it came out ?

Heard the water was very low.  My buddy sent me a picture from the ramp off the Golden Road.

Wow. That's what Lake Francis in NH looked like this weekend. At least 20 feet low.

Found this on FB.  Yikes.  Quite the racer.

Whiteys seem to be in good shape though.

Maybe the should have a perch derby.  Doubt they're getting that chunky on bugs.
