LOL  Hey, a sealion might have eaten the back half of him.  Anyways, I know my trick photography and I see how he's holding it out to the camera.  Very similar technique that I used to take photos of my moose to make it look big...   I'm not saying it isn't big, but it's not a 50 pounder.  (I think?)  ;)

i have no idea, i dont no squat about fish or fishing for that manner, all i care about is hunting, dont get me wrong, ill still go out for bass or trout from time to time, but huntings for me!
I would rather be a conservative nut job, than a liberal with no nuts, and no job!

Looks like the Skook almost, and that would make it a Skook upriver bright.  :chuckle:

I landed a chrome 55 pound King in the Skook on a fly rod.  Took me about 3 hours.  Son of a gun almost spooled me going upriver.  Almost drowned me in a stupid gillnet.

Great fish Coon!  If your gonna release a fish that big you gotta be careful holding it by the gills....especially in that condition.  Sounds like it was a clean release though.  Good for you.

Just as a percepecitve.....first picture is a 48lb. King I got a couple years ago.  Like someone else said.....extremely hard to hold a fish that large with one hand.  As you can see it took me two.

Second picture is exactly 35lbs.

I would say yours was mid-40's at least!
