The 64th Golden North Salmon Derby wants you!

Marsha Montag, last year's winner of the Golden North Salmon Derby, took the prize with a 28.6 pound king salmon. This year, the winner could be you (just last year a 47.5 pound king was caught off North Douglas). So mark the dates -- August 13, 14, and 15 -- for the 64th Golden North Salmon Derby in Juneau, Alaska.

Since 1947, this competitive event has brought residents and visitors together to put their skills (and their luck) to the test in the icy waters surrounding Juneau. With every cry of "Fish on!" anglers hope to bring home a winning fish and some serious bragging rights.

As part of the deby, the Territorial Sportsman Scholarship Foundation has awarded 201 scholarships totaling over one million dollars to deserving young people since 1953. All fish turned in during the derby are sold and the proceeds donated to the scholarship. So even the small fish are winners here.

All derby participants will need an Alaska fishing license. Derby rules prohibit fishing from shore, so don't forget to book your charter or bare boat rentals in advance. And check out Juneau's lodging and dining options.
