I heard that the Indians netted a 68lb King the other day in the Skagit River in the Lyman area. :(

22 is a hog if its true. I've caught a couple pushing very close to 20 and those things will VIOLATE you! I'd love to see a pic!

That's one case where I would not mind being violated. Hell I'd even welcome it!

That looks like a long armed 12lber.

Holiday Sports in Burlington had a couple Coho in their freezer years ago that were 21lb & 20lbs.  Biggest Silvers I'd ever seen....

The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

 Using the all species fish weight calculator which I''ve found to be very accurate, I would say more like 19 -19.5lbs, based on 31" length. I hooked a wild silver at Sekiu that I had to release that was just over 36" in length. I don't think that fish is quite in that length range unless the guy in the photo is 6'4". All that said, it's a trophy fish, really great fish.
