Stopped by the Camas Marina Sunday afternoon and watched what appeared to be the last 8-9 boats weighing-in. Most had only one fish per boat. One boat had three, but they were smaller than the others I saw. Saw several fish in the 6-8 lb range weighed. I believe there was a 9 lber weighed in while I was there. Most of the guys I talked to said the fish were caught on trolled worm harnesses. According to the board there weren't nearly as many caught on Sunday as there were on Saturday. One guy said he hooked an oversize sturgeon which must have been pretty exciting. He apparently got to see the fish at some point because he showed the crowd its length as compared to the length of his boat.

The biggest fish on Sunday was a 10 lber, if I was reading the board correctly. The heaviest stringer on Saturday was 30 lbs.

First time seeing a Walleye close up. Very impressive fish!'
I gather fishing must have been very tough. The ramp was an absolute zoo with boaters lined up almost all the way to the highway waiting to launch their boats and an equally as long a line of guys waiting to pickup their boats.
