My girlfriend got her first king last year. A 35# buck. She was tossing a #5 sized flashnglo in gold. The fish literally hit that lure sideways, and had imbedded it's teeth into the blade (making a referse bend out of it lol ) and bending the crap out of the shaft/components. Landed the fish, clipped the lure off, took off the hook, and gave it to her as a souvenier for her first king (since, it was pretty much unfishable at that point). She now has it on her key ring.
