Details: Angler Brendan Zietsma says this photo, taken by his friend Derek Nesbit, is special because it shows one of the first salmon he ever caught. “It was an exciting moment, as we were working hard to catch them all day,” he says. “This salmon put up a 20-minute fight and weighed around 30 pounds. It felt super-rewarding to release it knowing that it was hopefully going to go up river and help with the annual spawn.”

Prize: $500 Rapala Prize Package
