Caught on the Skeena River, using a spey rod. That's all I know, I have no clue what kind of lure, line etc was used.

WOW, I got one 65 lb on the Nestucca years ago, but that thing dwarfs it.

Back in the mid 90's I caught a 49lb king on the Humptulips, in high fast water and it took me damn near an hour to get it on the bank. That was using my med/heavy Lamiglas baitcaster, and 25lb maxima ultragreen. The next morning my girlfriend covered my back, shoulders and arms with Icy Hot, and it took me three days to recover.

I could imagine it what kind of fight this one put up on a spey rod.

That would not fit on my Trager!!!

I would sure try though

I would sure try though

If the fish wouldn't fit, I highly doubt a grown man would

 

[Dunerunner]

I'll bet she just reached into the water and grabbed it by the tail!!

 

[gemihur]

Great catch.
We could learn something from this lady!

A whale of a fish tale.

They are landing epic numbers of salmon right now.


Buddy of mine has been landing two keepers every morning before 8am for the last week and a half.

Wish we were catching those numbers here. So far the season around here has been a dud.

Wow, Just Wow.

Just kidding, I'm just jealous.

Having been in the same boat myself, it's a really nice problem to have.

Wow!

Awesome memory right there
