#2 -right zilch #3 -Coho salmon, broken three times in the month of September out of Sekiu, resulting in the current 25 3/4lb record. I caught a wild fish I had to let go in 2005 up there that was 36" long and girth 23 -24 inches. According to any table I find it would have been around 25lbs. When I first saw it roll, I just assumed it was a king. After I netted it I was in disbelief it was a coho. Didn't even have a camera. :'( To make matters worse, the coho derby was going on that weekend and 2nd place was 15.5 pounds, I landed a 15.5 pound hatchery fish also, but did not enter. :bash: :bash: :bash: |

Great trivia! My wife says I muddle up my mind with useless information so I guess I'll put this to use also. |

With out a doubt the ugliest fish in Washington would be the ratfish, as kids we use to spear them from the fish cleaning station at Olsens Resort in Sekiu, bring them up on the dock and let them loose. they would crawl around on their front fins and hiss like a rabid dog....would scare the crap out of the tourists, LOL |

That's true, but they are friendly little buggers... Alchase, welcome bud!! Good to see you here. D |
