Two Bits - The difference between $15,000 and $4,000
This year's top 2 Chantry Salmon were weighed in on consecutive days at the same station as shown below.
An amazing difference of only .01 lbs between first and second place and a staggering $9000 difference in prize money!
Darryl Burley, Kincardine weigh station foreman placed a quarter on our official scale and it registered... .01 lbs.
If we take rounding into consideration, that difference could be as little as a well worn dime or as much as 2 quarters.
All figures in C$.
Well done, Brian and Mark!

No way it would fit any cooler.
He told me the beast had to be transported from the boat in a tub which bent from the strain.Last edited by Nick Toth; 08-09-2015 at 08:53 PM.

Thanks for the update.
Interesting to see the largest rainbow was almost the same weight as the salmon.
