In this year of record sized coho (silvers) this one tops the charts. But it wasn't sport caught. It was caught in Oregon's NF Clackamas River fish trap where they separate out hatchery fish on that tributary and release the natives (which this fish is) on up this spawning creek. Here is a picture of the monster; albeit colored up, a would be world record had someone caught it. It measured 41.2" long with 24.1" girth = 30.6 lbs. It's held by fish bio Doug Cramer.



There was a reported 24 1/2 pounder caught on the outer OP and Rich G caught a 23+ pounder (pic in another thread here) on the Duc. Is there a 25 to 30 lb. 'ho or two headin for the 'Sop guys?
