Raymond Victory arrived at Bluffton's annual trout derby at 8:15 a.m. - much later than usual, but still nearly six hours before the 2 p.m. starter's gun would sound. He was carrying two poles - one with which to fish, the other to lay on the ground to stake off his three-foot section on the quarry's bank.

As the derby began, Victory announced to those nearby: "That guy (the number one tagged trout) is in this area. One of us will catch him." Victory was joking, but just 15 minutes later, that joke turned into reality.
