The 56th annual Seward Silver Salmon Derby ends today at noon, and although a pair of impressive 19-pounders top the leaderboard, big-money fish are still swimming in Resurrection Bay. Only two of the 15 tagged fish have been caught, and the one worth $50,000 is still out there. Phillip Lazenby of Kenai is poised to pocket $10,000 if no one catches a silver bigger than the 19.15-pounder he hauled in last Sunday.
