Nice fish and congrats. You've now outfished Rod. He can hook all the pinks he wants but until he lands a mature spring on a liight spinning rod you now have bragging rights ;D.

Very nice looking fish.  I find those 10 lb. springs to be ideal for the fly rod!  Anyway - I've caught whites but I never retain them.  Are they any good for eating?  I hear they smoke up well.  But since I don't have a smoker - would there ever be any point?  Perhaps perch can recommend some recipes!   :D

 ;)Well sorry guys, dont really know any good recipes for spring. I m sure some ppl here in the forum might know a few good one.  Well this spring sure fight pretty good, when i first hooked it, it was way out there, i though i m foul hook a pink..then my drag starting to go and go and go.... for about 15 sec. then i tighten it a bit cas i might loose all my line.  ppl that know me know that I have a very light spinning combo so....I try to follow it by walking on the shore... this is going one for at least 15 min and it finally give in.  I m glad is a 12Lber and not a 25 Lber cas if it was a huge one, I dont think i can manage it with my gear and without a net.  Cheers! ;D

White chinook salmon are just as tasty, despite what many would tell you. A fresh fish such as the one Perch caught can be very delicious on the BBQ. Two years ago I had a chance to taste a piece of BBQed white chinook salmon at our BC Rivers Day event, it was excellent! The fish doesn't need to be smoked to be good. If the white chinook is dark, it'll taste just like a dark coho, chum, pink - awful.

Hey Perch - I know what you mean - spring vs. foul hooked pink.  I had a simliar experience, but the fish turned out to be a chrome bright 10 lb. white spring.  And I landed it on my 7 weight fly rod (Sage 796 XP).  I released it though.  After reading Rod's comments, perhaps I should have retained the fish.  I LOVE red springs.  Maybe I should give a chrome white a try.   :)
