The 2013 Homer Jackpot Halibut Derby is getting geared up for its May 15 start. Stay tuned for more information, but in the meanwhile, be sure to check out this year's Derby sponsors.Remember anglers, Homer has a two fish per day per person halibut catch limit!!The 2012 Derby grand prize has been won by a 323.2 lb Halibut caught on August 31.
The Derby ended with nine tagged fish caught by individuals who purchased Derby tickets. We also had over 25 tagged fish caught by anglers without Derby tickets. However most of those fish were returned to the waters, hopefully to be caught in the future by another angler who did purchase a Derby Ticket. We also have our winners of the September released fish drawings - drawings are held on the 16th of the month following the month in which the fish is released. As there was only one released fish for the month, the senior and Veteran/Military prizes will not be awarded. Overall winner - Kent Christopher of Denver, CO caught/released while fishing with Captain Greg's Charters aboard the Tomahawk with Captain Greg Sutter. Congratulations to all of you!! A special thanks goes out to all the business and individuals who sponsored last year's Homer Halibut Jackpot Derby. And thanks to all the fishermen and women who purchased their Derby Ticket!!! The Homer Jackpot Halibut Derby is an annual event, running from May 15 to September 15 each year. Tickets are $10. 2013 Homer Jackpot Halibut Derby Committee
