Title: Humpy Hump
Post by: scouterjames on September 16, 2013, 05:19:44 PM

I was killing time, surfing and came across this pic - WOW that's a big hump!  Curious, post the pics you have of the biggest hump (and year of catch).

This isn't me, just off an Alaskin website.... (http://www.alaskafishinglodgetrips.com/images/pink-salmon-fishing.jpg)

I wonder if the people in those pictures ate those fish considering their hands are in the gills in both pics.

The second picture looks like a replica mount.

Many people aren't aware, but the meat from the hump of a male pink salmon is some of the best tasting pink salmon meat there is.

So it is a replica of the world record pink? They must not of had any pictures on the river and waited until they had the mount to get an action shot either way it is a nice job on the fish both the catch and the quality of the mount.
