Well so far, my biggest is a Sturgeon, about 7-8 feet, and well over 200 lbs.  But for salmon it is a chinook that was in the 60's!! :)

50 pound Tyee in Alberni Inlet mooching plug cut herring. Caught the fish a few days too early or I would have won the Labour Day Long Weekend derby.

My gosh, topics like this always bring out the so-called ego maniacs of FWR! ;D ;D ;D

Anyone can catch a big fish, the challenge really exists when you try to catch something like this. ;)

You're right Rodney, that takes talent.  I'm pretty sure that Bwi Bwi had you beat though, we didn't get pics of that day, but they were Sculpins, maybe 2 or 3".  Hit hard though and put up a good fight!! :o ;D ;D
