Big Brown Brings Victory Fishermen Brad Conover, left, Nelson Drewien, center, and Chris Theobald show off their winning catch Saturday at the 19th annual East Magic trolling derby at Magic Reservoir. The competition crowns as champion the team with the greatest total weight of kept fish over 14 inches, as well as an award for biggest fish of the day. The winning team—from the boat “Klamath”— had a weight total of 14.2 pounds, including Theobald’s big-fish-winner German brown trout weighing in at 4.95 pounds. Twenty-four boats with three person crews participated in the event.
