That sounds good. I was figuring this out the other day. I kind of came up with a minimum of 12 for nookies. (1 fish->2 fillets-->3 lbs/fillet-->nook once a week) Then get a few silvers in the fall and some steelies as a little extra...didn't try to add them up. Figure a couple trips for rockies/lings--try to get about 30 lbs. If possible about 6 tuna. :drool:
Dang I forgot about the tuna :bdid: my wife would kill me if I forget her tuna :bash:

Do you can the rock fish, ling and cabbies?

You better add some halibut to that list also.

I have canned some once, but didn't care for it. I normally freeze them in water. That way they taste just as fresh as the day they get frozen.

With the Fall run that is forecasted, I hope to break the 40lb mark with a Columbia River Chinook :tup:

Can't believe the E-wardens on here haven't jumped you for posting about wanting to break
What? :dunno:

I'm guessing he's bringing up the idea of "processed form" possession limits :dunno:
By bringing it up does that qualify someone as an e-warden :dunno:

Possession limits only apply while in the field or in transit. No mention of how much fish you can have in your home freezer.

That's the way it's always been. There are processed possession limits that add frozen/canned/etc. to the regular possession limit- but those only apply until you actually get the fish to permanent/home storage.

Besides do I care about the E- Warden's. There's always someone who wants to put a damper on somebody's fishing fun.

And, I also found that big kings aren't as good. They taste fine but are a pain to cook. The fillets are too thick. I let anything 30 or over go. It helps make more big kings for the future too!

That does work and is good advice if your going to keep one. I'd rather let them make more big kings and keep some smaller fish anyway, although I'd bonk it if it were a hatchery fish!

Can't argue with that.

Ive only broken the 30lb mark once with a big fat king. Looking to break 40lb this year in the Westport area.
We broke the 40# class last year at Westport. Looking to hit a few more this year, but a boat load of 20's work just fine too :tup: Plus some nice silvers to boot :tup:
