River level bumped up a bit more today. Lots of water to cover, got a little brown but remained clear enough to fish. Hauled in the biggest one of the season so far.

Now he's fishing jigs! How big? Did you weigh it? Those short rods exaggerate perspective.

cohos always look heavier than they actually weight.  This looked to be a solid 8.  Pretty fish!

As I recall a salmon will lose 1/4 to 1/3 it's weight when dress cleaned. - so that fish could have been in the 10 to 11lb range when landed.
