I was reading over yesterdays outdoor page in the Tacoma news tribune and came across this... Last week during a spawning ground survey on the north fork of the Lewis river, a biologist came across a spawned coho that measured 38 inches in length and about the same measurement for it's girth (WOW)! based on the evidence estimated live weight 30 pounds, that is more than 3 inches in length longer than the current state freshwater record and damn near 12 inches thicker, now thats a football I want to play with. I realize that its steelhead season but this reminds me of how much fun my partner and I have had chasing around the great coho runs we've been spoiled with the past few seasons. The records were falling and we got one around 23lbs the fall before last, chrome bright 23lb buck with the biggest hooknose i've seen, beautiful fish. Anybody else come close to the record?
