Dogfish - while it makes sense that this lake may have held some salmon in it at one time (the date they show for the record - 1992, is about the time I first heard of salmon being up there). What blows me away is that some guy hiked all the way up there, and then decided to pack this fish (an extra 9lbs of slimy fish stuffed in your back pack) all they way back down the mountain (about 1.5 miles nearly straight up), back along the main trail (roughly 4 miles), about 15 miles of driving down dirt roads, and who knows how far he went to find ice to pack it in and then find a certified scale! This would definately not be considered a fresh salmon dinner in my book I'm thinking that this dude must have knew before he started this trip that he was looking for a record. If it were me, i'd have snapped a bunch of pics, let it go, and tried to catch some more...

I did find some info (possibly out-dated) on this lake that says it's planted about every 4 years or so with bows. But I've never seen anything showing when or how often it is stocked with salmon. Who knows, after nearly 10 years, there may not be any fish left in there at all.
