Brad Torry - Salmon Master 2013
2013 SALMON MASTER GRAND CHAMPION
The conditions may have been challenging, but the fishing was fast and furious at this years 11th Annual Salmon Masters Tournament held June 5-9th. The event drew enthusiastic anglers from North America, some who came as far away as Japan, to battle it out for the largest salmon caught at one of our three premium fishing resorts.
Of the 128 anglers, Brad Torry from Calgary, Alberta reeled in the winner, a 46.2 pound tyee from our Hippa Island lodge location. In addition to a freezer full of salmon, Brad took home a purse totalling over $115,000. A great bounty to receive for five days of fun!
The competition was intense amongst the contenders, and sizeable tyees were hooked at each of the three lodges. Top placements included Pat Stephens with a 37.5 pound tyee from our Whale Channel lodge, and Dave "Grex" Grexton with a 42.9 pound tyee from our Englefield Bay location.
"Overall the 2013 tournament was a blast," commented Terry Schultz, lodge manager. "We congratulate all anglers who participated in this years event and thank you for joining us to support two great causes—the Pacific Salmon Foundation, and Prostate Cancer BC." Over $20,000 was raised and distributed to the two charities, thanks to all who participated in the event.
