Wouldn't it be nice to CATCH 77 smelt in a half hour?
Smelt Eating Champ Undefeated in 30 years.
Kelso, Wash.Darwin Weber swallowed 77 smelt in 30 minutes to win the Kelso Eagles Smelt Eating Contest.Weber 54,has won each time he's entered since 1972."I like fish but I really don't care for smelt" admitted the 210-pound Weber, who won $50 and the blue Ribbon."I'M Waiting for someone to beat me so I Can retire". Weber's most formible challenger was Jeff Deaver, who is 140-pounds heavier and 22 years younger.But Deaver appeared to slow as time ticked away finishing second with 70 smelt eaten."He was born with two stomachs" Deaver said of Weber."Maybe a Sea Mammal cab beat him:I don't know". Weber has eaten 106 smelt twice in competition before.He capped off Sunday's Triumph with a beer. Roy

The 2000 season had two days of good smelting where there were buckets filled at Montrose. Wouldn't have believed it but I was there and got my fair share.
