A big dead fish is a BIG DEAD FISH any way you slice it.

I know the drill... "It's the client's call." Ok I can respect that. But I do wonder how many 30# steelhead on the OP get the wood shampoo. I say that with utmost respect, TRBO... not as a flame. Gentle persuasion works a lot better than slap

Let's all just remember that we can't possibly conserve the gene pool of the biggest baddest fish in a system by selectively killing them. Those enormous Kasilof pigs are VERY special... wild purebred giants not unlike the Kenai hawgs I rally so hard to protect.

Just food for thought.

OK off my soapbox... back to our regularly scheduled program. Carry on....
