Once again the City of Brewster showed how to make everyone welcome, and the 5th Annual Budweiser-Lowrance King Salmon Derby, sponsored by the Brewster Chamber of Commerce was a huge success. Fishing was slower than usual, but it didn’t seem to matter much. There were more than enough summer-run salmon caught to fill the leader board and there was more than enough cash and prizes to make everyone who participated in the derby glad they made the trip. There were 260 anglers registered in the derby this year and an all-time number of youth entries at 25. There was over $18,000.00 in cash and prizes handed out at this year’s derby. Each year the number of sponsors that step up increases—and so does the prize money. The top three winners in the adult division were: 1st place, Brandon Pritchard, winning $1,250.00 for his 29-pound 5 oz. fish; 2nd place, George Batemen, winning $950.00 with a 28-pound 11 oz. king, and taking 3rd place was Rory Bergere, winning $800.00 with a 26-pound 12 oz. fish. In the youth division, 1st place was won by Logan Dechenne winning $450.00 with a 21-pound 11 oz king; 2nd place was claimed by Daniel Rossman winning $350.00 for a 20-pound 6 oz fish and in 3rd place was Katelyn Worley winning $250.00 with an 18-pound salmon.
