I got this fish about 4 years ago Whee.. I was all pumped after got fish out, it was big fish! how much weight do you think?

I was fishing alone down river and there was a two little boys standing by me live around here and after I got fish out and asked him to take a picture of it. Oh no, not a good picture but better than nothing. so I release it. Cuz It was almost dark fish

I couldnt hold this fish longer cuz my arm was dying by pulling hard for while.

Could this king mouth cover my head with their mouth? What a big king.

I've caught some 40 plus pounders before & after looking at the pic I'd say it would go about 36-38 lbs. But pics can fool ya some times though.

I've caught hundred of Kings. Boat loads of 25-30's, Too many 40's, Numerous 50's and several in the 60's class. Fished Alaskan rivers for almost ten years on very active basis. He is getting past the spawned stage and lost of alot of body weight, but in prime I'm sure he'd be 45 or around.... Never the less, a great fish. Would have been a heck of a fight from shore in his prime, fish like that normally very tough to tackle with small gear on fast rivers....

I think the picture is sort of decieving... It's hard to tell with nothing to give perspective so I'll say 33 lbs.

Did your hand fall off after touching that thing?

I say upper 20's, low 30's.

Fresh that would have been a 50 pound fish. In his condition 38-40. Good job for turning him back.

Ya Jackalope It was at Naselle river. Some dark and some Chrome. not really exciting. Sometime soo many people. I have caught pretty many Kings there, I have never feel that so HEAVY in whole my life. I would probablly guess 40 to 45lbs. Dang I was using 25 lbs fishing line. whee...
