I'd like to see a 550lb. chinook run the riffles above tidwater in NW oregon, I don't think the wild fish would have to worry about inter-breeding w/that one. It would be beached down in tidewater Imagine the "bobber down!" tjat that one would create?!? Anybody got any 200# test power pro, and some beer kegs for bobbers?, I'm going geneticly engineered chinook fishing

I don't think chinook that big would compete w/native fish spawning, but they may wipe out the ocean's baitfish populations in a hurry.

Can you imagine the maggot heap a 550lb. chinook would make when it washed up on the beach of a spawning trib. in October?

Interesting stuff............
