Where's Part II???? :cheesy:

Nice catch. When I lived out in BC I mostly did flyfishing for cutthroat and rainbow trout, no salmon though. What river?

WOW! We get a lot of huge fish here locally...but no salmon. I didn't know salmon could get that big! Very nice!

Awsome fish! IS it going to be hanging on the wall? It has beautiful color. I'm putting up the sticks shortly in exchange for a shotgun

Very nice catch. Is that a personal best??

I caught a fish bigger than that once, i was going to mount it, but the neighbors were watching.

Congrats, that is a great fish.

Way-to-go dude!!

To keep this golf related, what kind of "club" are you holding in your right hand?

Loft?

Swingweight?

Shaft, obviously hickory but stiff or ? Mid-kick point?

Do you consider it your utility club?

its a g.loomis medium heavy 10.5 with medium action, shimano calcutta 400 TE with maxima 15lb test. i actually think this rod is too stiff and i'm going to try one with a faster tip and medium stiffness for more feel..

No, your RIGHT hand !!! Yes, the other right !!!

oh that ba$tard..that little angle is a commercial fishing gaff, if it wasn't for that thing i would still be fighting the feesh..got a big stinkin hook and i can scoop the fish under the jaw and lift it out of the water..

That one fish counts as two parts, Im a fan of the head bleeding down the side Like a samurai and just severed the head half off with no mercy :cheesy:

that's from cutting the gills to bleed the fish, it makes the meat much better...here is part 2, the pictures were deleted when it got moved to here.....this was a nice 35lb'r i caught on a day it was dumping rain..river came up so fast we almost didn't make it back across..i caught this one 4 days before the big big boy...

kind of funny, i'm finding the best reels are out of japan and japanesse only..you can find them on ebay...this is my latest bad boy...(god i'm hoing fishing gear now)...a shimano calcutta conquest...twice as many ball bearings, super beefed up gears...drilled out to save weight and look really cool...and one tough mother...i'm bringing in 30lb king salmon on 12 lb test...

Nice fish. :)

I miss living so close to the Chehalis.....the Missouri just doesn't have much for salmon.

Hey, that is freakin fantastic. I wish I didnt look. Youve got me dreamin again. Man that is a great fish. Looks fresh from the lake also. What did you catch it on? Eggs? Steamer?

man those are some gorgeous fish.. i actually did a little ice fishing about a week and a half ago... my boss and i have been bored as $hit at work these days, and we always have our gear at the club, so we walked down the 18th, drilled a couple holes and we fished for a good 4 hours... gotta love workin at golf courses... when the course is slow just find a gap, and fish... won't catch anything exotic pretty much small mouth, large mouth, carp, bluegills,etc. but when i go on trips i like to fish for muskie at webster lake in Indiana or go to my families place in the Upper Peninsula Michigan, do a little fishin for some northerns...

Awesome fish, I wish I could get out more but I just don't lol.
