Hasn't stopped the fish from biting too much as Fairbanks man lands 207-pound halibut, takes derby lead
David Gatch of Fairbanks became the first angler to bring in a derby fish of more than 200 pounds in Southcentral this year, with a 207.2-pound flatfish he caught between the lips Monday to take the lead in The Valdez Halibut Derby.


David Gatchs' barn door knocked out Ben Ponting, of Tonsina, posing with his 147.5-pound halibut in the summer-long Valdez Halibut Derby big halibut. Ponting, who recently moved to Alaska from Oregon, caught the fish June 8, 2008.
