HUGE Chinook

[Firedog]

Here is story I saw on Steelheader.net. It is about a huge Chinook caught this year that was C&R in Canada. Dont Know if this fish was actually this big or not but it is a great example if the things that we need to do to keep our stocks healthy and big fish coming back. Hopefully they didnt keep it out of the water to long with the drive to "calmer water"

The lousy camera angle in the photo reminds me of the 19' sturgeon shot. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] I would definately like to see that video. Also wondering if that fish actually survived after being out of the water for the boat ride up to "calmer water".

How did they get an exact weight if they released it? I wonder if there was more than 1 witness? It just doesn't look like 100 pounds to me. [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] It looks like they took it off the spawning beds, though. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]
