The Marina Del Rey Anglers’ 31st Annual

$65,000 in cash and prizes was
distributed from the awards, jackpots, side bets and raffles. Many
thanks go out to all the Derby Sponsors from all around the fishing and boating

The weather was perfect,
the halibut fishing was tough, but the entire 2 day event had a magical
carnival like atmosphere.
