Awsome pic, thanks for sharing

Awesome, I wonder if there's even a triple digit Salmon left on this planet.?.  I thought my pops 69lb Kenai King was big.  Huh.

[huntnphool]

Rivers Inlet will produce one every so often. I had to look close, they almost looked like halibut at first

My old fishing buddy has shown me pics of 100+ pounders that his grandpa caught on the Columbia many years ago.  I calld b.s. until I saw the pics.

Man that would be a good time.

[bowhuntin]

judging by the picture those guys probably don't weigh much more than those salmon. great picture.

I was excited over my 28lb king I caught off Ilwaco! Wow! those are very large. Guess I never thought that salmon got that big!

[cohoho]

Holly crap!,  Been there for a 80lber out of the Kenai, not mine but same boat!!!!!  Ten years and hundreds of King Salmon trips, way too many fish to count and my personal biggest is 62lbs, can't imagine anything past current record..........  Can you only imagine hooking fish like that in the pictures.  Supposedly, there is a place somewhere in Russia that produces huge fish, some in 80-100 range...  ?  


Huntnphool, need to plan that trip to Rivers Inlet....!!!!!

That because they hired three midgets to pose with the fish.

The largest King Salmon caught on rod and reel is 97lbs. 4 oz.

The largest caught in Washington water on rod and reel I believe is 76 lbs.

All the rest were Gillnet or net caught

They had a 78 lbs slab at the fish market at Pike Place Market about ten years ago gill netted.

I know what the AK state record is, but honestly, I cannot find where the information is on a river in Russia that produces huge Chinooks on a regulary basis, meaning 80 plus lbs....  I know several places have stated the record is between 126 and 127 for fish trap caught or netted fish, either way pigs for certain.  The current commercial catch world record is 126 pounds (57 kg) caught near Petersburg, Alaska in a fish trap in 1949, depending upon which source you check...  Either way the pics are totally incredible in relation to size of fish that once ran this part of the country. Wow!
