My family friend is off to chili today to fish with Clancy holt won't get any pics for a week after he comes back but his first day of fishing is going to be 80 degrees

I spent a lot of time on the Elwha growing up. We would ride are bikes from P A to fish it it we couldn't get a ride. We would catch kings in the 40 to 50 lb range all the time. I have seen dead ones that would have pushed 60 or better. But there would be less and less every year. Unfortunately for that strain, they were in full spawning mode when the coho's would show up and that's when the nets went in. They would get tossed on the beach and left to rot.

Chile?

One is a country, one is a stew.

Hard to imagine a fish with those genetics came from the Cow or the Lewis recently.  I could believe the Elwha or the Skagit, but they haven't seen many fish like this guy in years.  What a PIG!

I've hooked fish on the Elwha  that would spool me! Several times! It's only eight miles to the salt and they will go back!

These fish were taken to chile way back when there was the HUGE kings of the columbia. This is no recent plant. This happened along time

Won't last letting people handle them like that. All these fish are released...not unharmed...

If I caught a salmon like that, I would provide immediate fillet surgery and warm it up on the grille. I've heard chili can be cold at times.

While my friend is in chile I took my daughter fishing in his pond and she caught a nice trout

 Kind of pokes a finger in the eye of all those that believe native fish are superior to planted fish.
