I just got back from the Columbia and caught a 28 and a 32 pound Tule chinook. My buddy said to throw them back, but I kept them. When I got home, I asked my brother if he wanted some, and he said if it was tule king, he didn't want any. All the kings we saw caught in the river were tules, and everyone was keeping them. What exactly is a tule king? I tried to contact the fish biologist with the WDFW but have had no response. Anyone know what they really are, and if they're not very good eating, how are they smoked? I hate to throw out that much fish.
