Heavy Red Category Mule Trout Saddle Flounder Leopard Red Cajun Slam Marina Del Rey 35th Halibut Derby - Results The 35th Annual Marina Del Rey Halibut Derby held April 4th and 5th was an outstanding success. Four Hundred thirty nine anglers competed for $60,000 in cash and prizes including a shot at a brand new Toyota Tundra Truck and exotic fishing trips to Alaska, British Columbia and Mexico. This year's MDR Halibut Derby anglers were the true loyalists, the real die hards, the great fishing patriots. They came out despite the bad economy, high fuel prices, short sighted regulators bent on destroying recreational fishing and last years lower fish counts. The MDRA Board of Directors salutes these anglers for their support of the 35th Annual Halibut Derby, which has become a historic tradition and which supports one of the longest and most highly respected youth fishing programs in the country. Anticipation and excitement filled the air during last minute signups Friday and at the giant tailgate party in the parking areas Friday night. Anglers had their boats and gear ready for an early morning assault and competition to locate and land that one monster halibut to win the fishing vacation of a lifetime, a new Toyota Truck from Marina del Rey Toyota and bragging rights for the following year.Derby anglers also proved they were real fishermen's who know how to have fun whether the fish bite or not. We definitely proved you can lead a bait to halibut, but you can't make the halibut eat!Sunny skies and a cooling breeze and slightly bumpy water ruled most of the weekend with. Several nice halibut were brought to the scales Saturday afternoon. Gary Maskiewicz brought in the first whopper, a 23.8 pound halibut, to start the excitement. He was quickly followed by Barry Clayborn's 21.9 pound fish. Then, just before the scales closed James Muro hauled a giant 41.1 pound halibut up the ramp and reshuffled the leader board. Proud anglers posed for pictures taken by professional fishing photographer, Anna Diaz, and gave telephone interviews to 976TUNA.com and SportfishingReport.com. When the scales closed Saturday evening everybody knew the weights on the leader board and what it may take to win the Derby on Sunday. The leaders may have been hoping their big fish would maintain their position, while others were hoping Sunday would bring them good luck and the tournament winning giant halibut. Even the top anglers wanted to come back the next day with bigger fish and a bigger shot at the big prizes and money. The aroma of barbeque and the sound of laughter permeated the air of the Marina Del Rey launch area parking lot Saturday night as derby revelers and campers tail gated and shared stories of the fish landed and the monsters that got away. The excitement and tension built throughout Sunday morning and afternoon. The annual April fools joke claimed a 50 plus pound halibut had been caught, and there were some believers until the very end of the weigh in when it failed to materialize. This means the Toyota Truck will stay in the lot at Marina Del Rey Toyota. The odds are good that some lucky angler will claim this grand prize someday soon as has been done 2 out of the last 6 years. Every time a big fish came to the tables there were cheers from the crowd and high fives all around. Every second toward the 3:00 PM deadline for final weigh-in the excitement increased. Friends and family members joined the current top three leaders in a silent prayer that their halibut would remain in the top prize categories. Their prayers were answered. Several nice halibut were weighed in late Sunday but none of them ousted the big three caught the day before. So the official results for the 2009, 35th Annual MDR Halibut Derby are in and congratulations goes to all the winners and a hardy thanks goes to all the participants, sponsors and volunteers who made this charity event possible and successful. James Muro of Woodland Hills won top honors with his 41.1 pound halibut and selected the fishing vacation for two at the gorgeous Rivers Inlet Sportsman's Club in British Columbia.

The catch-photo-release charity event, run by JaxKayakFishing.com, is the world’s largest kayak fishing event for the fourth consecutive year. "We are thrilled to be associated with such a world-class event, and want to thank the kayak anglers, the sponsors, and everyone that made the Classic happen for their generous support ", said Jimmy Kelly, Daniel’s director of development. Tournament director Mike Kogan stated, “We are overwhelmed at the incredible turnout – even in these challenging economic times the surge in participation from the anglers and sponsors points to continued strong growth for kayak fishing.” The 2009 Classic was led by the title sponsorship of Columbia Sportswear, whose focus on products that allow people to enjoy the outdoors longer and more comfortably was a perfect match for kayak fishing. According to Columbia Sportwear VP of Global Sales Mitch Fields, “Our Performance Fishing Gear like our new Blood & Guts line is ideal for kayak anglers who are on the water all day – they get UPF protection up to 50 with Omni Shade technology, venting for comfort and cooling, and a performance fabric which repels and releases stains.” Columbia was joined by other industry leaders such as Hobie Kayaks, Malibu Kayaks, Wilderness Systems, Ocean Kayaks, Shimano, Pure Fishing, and Costa Del Mar. The Classic also pulled together all of Northeast Florida’s kayak and fishing retailers led by Strike-Zone Fishing, Black Creek Outfitters, Gander Mountain, All Wet Sports, West Marine, and Dick's Sporting Goods to name just a few of the over 100 sponsors. Kogan related “the great efforts of our volunteers and the kayak fishing community combined with the generosity of our terrific sponsors have made this event an unqualified success – and the fishing was sensational.” Roger Bump of Jacksonville, FL claimed the top prize for the second year in a row in the slam division, winning a fully-rigged Hobie Mirage Pro Angler fishing kayak. He found all his fish in the Mill Cove area en route to his record-setting 69.8” winning slam, which consisted of a 27” red, a 26” trout, and a 16.7” flounder. Bump was closely followed by Jacksonville’s Robert Murray with 65.75”, Jon Ward of Riverview, FL with 60.5”, Jacksonville’s Adam Boyd with 60.1”, and Daniel Hunter of Jacksonville with 58.8”. Erick Bell, a member of Team Wilderness Systems from Concord, NC, won the trout division with a personal best 27.65” gator trout. In an outstanding display of generosity and sportsmanship Mr. Bell donated his 1st place prize Ocean Kayak Trident to Daniel to raise more funds for Florida’s oldest children’s services organization. Top redfish honors went to Jacksonville’s John Chapman with a 30.2” red and he scored a Malibu Stealth kayak. Leading the way in the flounder category was Chuck Ray of Neptune Beach, FL with a 21.6” flattie that was good for a Viking ProFish kayak. All winners and placers also received gift certificates from Strike-Zone Fishing, Black Creek Outfitters, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Kayak Fishing Supplies.Com, and subscriptions to Florida Sportfishing and Gaff magazines. Luke Shaw won Junior Angler and expecting mother Sarah Carpenter won Lady Angler.
