RE: Largest salmon ever caught

I'd be interesting to know what the largest salmon is forum members have caught over the years. My biggest is 43 lbs., Beechy Head, June 10th 1981, on Anchovy at 40 feet at 0700 in the morning. And you???

The largest salmon ever I ever caught was a 44lb Chinook in the Nitnat gap. Chinook salmon here are huge in late August and early September.

Ucluelet offers some great angling for moinster chinook and halibut,

From reading some of the incredible posts from many years ago with beauty fish from 2008 ish very sadly those days are far from gone! 🐬
i dunno. i jigged up two tyee class springs in one day last summer. had to let them swim of course. they’re still around, but agreed they’re getting rare.

had an interesting chat with a gentleman in Nootka a while back who does contract work for DFO. collects water samples etc. he was saying the amount of oxygenated water is a very slim band ( 15 feet ) and it’s getting deeper all the time. he commented that a lot of the biomass stays within that thin band . he kinda
blamed global warming but also said it’s natural factors as well such as algae blooms etc
