It was weighed on a digital scale. Could have taken the picture with outstretched arms but sure that would brought more comment. Take it for what it's worth. ✌

Yes, it was, and tasty too. I actually netted it and filleted it. Interesting there was nothing in it's stomach. Vacuum packed and froze the rest of it. Fillets were 1 1/4" thick! (the fish in this pic was 32 lb at HITW on July 4, 2015)

 

[UkeeDreamin]

That fish is definitely close enough to 20lbs to call it 28!!

X2 on the I’m jealous!

Cheers!

Nice one. The one in the cooler is 32 caught May 1 a few seasons ago.

This is a 38 from South arm makes a two litre bottle look pretty small I wish I measured it to see if that scale is true!

 

[wishiniwasfishin1]

Is that a 355 ml pepsi bottle? Ha. Nice fish!

Just crossed over to thrasher first fish in the boat

 

[high tide]

Well, my kitchen chairs a rocken lol.....
Dam it was not a fun or accuratey layed out forcast...... 4 am came early..... Headed out of McDonald park shortly after six .... Laid down a couple traps for an hour or so to try to get a few crab..... Dont like leaving them because of folk like the Gypsy Drifter and others.... It was rolling but calm.
By the time we past the QA.... To where we've been greatly successful lately.... Toward the Hump The tops were breaking 6 feet of white across the tops.. Nasty.... We couldn't find any bait any where we tried, finally picked up a 9lb or so, let several little guys go.
Not another boat in site... Finally a Grady joined us..... Fished till 3:30 Then .... As morning, the forcast was completely the opposite as it was flat calm..... Not 20....sheesh in the evening as forecasted ... Left after 6......flat calm
Tried for some crab...... Picked up a few dandys.

Oh well, enjoyed my friends company ... Tony's first spring off Vancouver I believe .

Once again caught most the smaller fish and the keeper on dad's home made spoons, glo white and green . Threw other gear at em to, spoons and hootchies....
Didn't light up like I hoped for my buds.

Play safe ... It was downright ugly out there for a while .

Ya it was white a early one I guess .lost a few big ones that night .

 

[Whitebuck]

Lots of early stock Fraser Chinook are whites. Some years in June it’s 50/50 red white ratio on Fraser.
Nechako stock are some of the biggest springs on the Fraser with an early run timing!

Good to know. Thanks.

Heading to the hump. Report to follow. Wind, swell, and sun are all prime.
