Few changes in LPOIC derby
CAROLINE LOBSINGER | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 2 years, 11 months AGO
I grew up in the Tri-Cities, Wash., and have always loved to write. I attended the University of Washington, where I earned a double major in journalism and political science, with an area of emphasis in history. I am the fifth out of six kids — don't believe any of the stories that my siblings tell. To be able to tell others stories and take photos for a living is a dream come true — and I considered myself blessed to be a community journalist. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, hiking and spending time outdoors, genealogy, reading, and watching the UW Huskies and the Seattle Seahawks. I am a servant to my cat, Frankie, who yes, will eat anything and everything in sight … even wedding cookies. | April 28, 2022 1:00 AM
There was wind and there was rain.

In third in the division is Reed Hall, who caught his way onto the board on Tuesday with a 16.5-pound, 32 1/4-inch rainbow that he opted to release. In fourth is John Ross, who hooked a 16.4 pound, 35-inch fish. In fifth is Kris Kulp who lead the division in the derby's opening day with a 14.9-pound, 32-inch rainbow.
