We could have some big fish in local westside rivers........IF, we used BIG MALES AND FEMALES for some of brood Stock and kept them separated for the "normal 7 - 14 lb" brood stock fish.

Anyone that fish's the west side "creeks" knows which has big fish.

Just so glad I had the opportunty to catch quite a few, 20+ lb, before the numbers got so low. Just so you know, most were caught in the 70's and 80's. Biggest was 26 lb 7 ozs. off the Queets, then a 23 lb 11 ozs. off a local river "that never placed in the TU derby" we had as that time. Still can't believe that......
Even got to "hook and line" some brood stock fish that were "big".

Hope all have a Merry Christmas and may the New Year bring "tight lines for all"
