 In 2015, Brad Birch of Clackamas, Oregon, won first place with a 196.2-pound fish, and Jeremy Smith of North Pole, Alaska, won the derby in 2022 with a 170-pound halibut. The size of the winning halibut has ranged from a 170-pounder caught in 2022 to the record-breaking 374-pound halibut caught by Frida Wiley in 2017. The one constant in the Valley's halibut derby during the last several years is the $10 price tag to buy a daily halibut derby ticket.
