Would be a cool fish for the kids to catch sounds like when they are in it's easy pickings.They taste alright, just a little fishier/drier than a silver. I thought they tasted kind of like silver mixed with canned tuna. When you get down to it even the kings/silvers get turned away by the folks that try to compare salmon to bottomfish like halibut/cabs/lingcod. Pinks are lots of fun to catch. Usually in such big numbers that young kids are constantly getting strikes and even catching, so it keeps their attention span. You can even use light gear that you already have for things like trout.

Eagle Point this morning sucked, one fish in the boat for three lines and about six short bites and quick releases. Saw very few fish getting caught.

Saw very few fish getting caught. We hit Eagle point this morning. 4 pinks in 45 min in the boat. one king 1 1/2 hour later. then everything died at slack. My brother got 2 kings in his boat, and lost 3 due to technical difficulties. It was combat fishing at it's finest! I figured about 50 boats, including charters, and one really larger sail boat. all in all... better than working!
Then in a month or so they look like this in the river Thats where the name, "Humpies" come from.

Halibut love Pink Salmon... I hear they sit in the mouth of the Sekiu river and slurp them up as the run upstream. I wonder if he took a pink off your hook!

I'd take a halibut over a pink any day!
