One tagged fish was caught this year. Anglers come
nationwide for a two-day cumulative weight competition.
The biggest fish caught weighed in at 14.35 pounds with a
net cash reward of $1,500. The first-place team took home
prizes in the amount of $5,600.

The Western Outdoor News Striper Derby is the "...biggest
striped bass tournament in the West," According to
tournament director Bill Hutcheson because Lake Havasu has
an abundant population of fish, just about everybody can
catch one.
