Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists found a wild coho salmon carcass in the North Fork Lewis River that may have exceeded 30 pounds, before the fish spawned and died. Joe Hymer of the Department of Fish and Wildlife said the coho was so large it looked like a chinook.
Biologists found the Coho while performing their weekly spawning count of fall chinook salmon. The coho had a 38-inch total length.
Washington's freshwater record coho, taken from the Quinault River in 2001, weighed 25.27 pounds and was 32.28 inches total length.
