Kings: a few around 40 Lbs.

2 18.5 Lb Coho, 2 years apart, at the exact same spot using the exact same type of spoon.

This brings up a questions. Last year I was fishing the Quilleute and talking with a local guide and a friend that has been fishing for years there. I know the friend has gotten at least 3 fish over 50 lbs (years ago) out of local OP rivers. The thing is, we all agreed that the size of the Kings has gone down. I can't remember when the last time I saw someone with a King over over 50. And fish in the mid 30's to 40's seem to be les common. We had our thoughts. What are yours?
