Here’s another pic of the 43 from Friday. Mind boggling that fish like this can be local.

photo shopped? I know the fish was that big, but it looks off.

Trolled SH this morning 7-1230. Out deep and in close. Released 4wild coho, kept 1 hatch coho. Lost a couple. No Sox or big springs for us today. Beautiful morning. Most of our hits came early then things slowed down. Tried bait one side, sox gear the other. 40 and 60 ft

Fished the sandhead Sunday, great day from 7-2pm when we limited out. Got 2 springs biggest 19lbs,
3 hatch coho, and 7 sox. Lost a few fish. all on pink hoochie 24" leader with blue flashers. The pic is from the morning bite, nothing from 10 to 1.
Then it pick up after the low slack. Also got 3 lampreys for sturgeon bait.

You’d be surprised at how many there really are locally which we don’t see

It's real. It had a huge head and tail.

It's real. It had a huge head and tail.

That particular photo though looks a bit off. You can’t really see where the guy is holding it up with his hands. No big deal.

I was right there when the picture was taken as they weighed in right after me. It's as legit as they come.

Poor guy had no chance at a proper photo, fish has the small cooler problem... all bent tail that got a close up shot at the camera...theres no way he could reach it's tail to flip out like in the pic... nice fish, huge plumb

Any sand heads reports this AM. Just got here and getting started. Try for sockeye first.

One hour update. Quiet. Nothing on sockeye gear so far.

I'd say the cooler had a big fish problem!
Two big guys had a hard time bringing it up the ramp and to the weighing station. This is a legit pic. The fish may look off in the photo because the pic was taken under a tent and there was more natural light exposure from where the camera was held.

This is such an epic photo - You can't usually tell how big they are in photos - Nice fish! Look at the adipose
