27-Plus-Pound Fish Takes Homer Winter King Salmon Tournament Title

The Marley family has taken the Homer Winter King Salmon Tournament by storm! Last year, Andrew Marley’s 25.62-pound Chinook took first place and a check for $44,517 at the event that is now settled in for an April start (this year’s tournament was pushed back a day to yesterday due to weather concerns). And in 2022, it was Andrew’s brother Weston who won the big prize with a 27.38-pound salmon.

Here are the Top 20 finishers and prize money for this year, and check out the official website for more awards and side pot winners.
