Rob,
There are 4 fish eligible to win the grand prizes- stripers, bluefish, bonito, and false albacore - in 2 categories, boat and shore. At the end there are 8 grand leaders who pick a key to open a lock. The 4 shore guys compete for the boat and the boat guys go for the truck. It's purely luck of the draw that the shore albie and boat bonito won the grand prizes this year.
A couple years ago the prize structure was changed to add a truck to the mix. Before that the boat was the only grand prize. Because it's assumed that boat guys have a boat and shore guys have a 4WD truck, the Derby committee decided to award the grand prizes to the opposite category. I think it makes sense, but a lot of people don't agree with it.
