And I ain't talkin' no Orygun 50.... nor the mythical W'port 50 either.... I'm talkin' an honest to God scale-confirmed 50 pound or better chinook taken from PNW waters.

I know FishNg1 is definitely in the club. Anyone else?

I've had nine 40+ come to the boat over the past decade, but that elusive 50 pounder is an awfully tough barrier. Probably had a hold of one at B10 in 2008, but it came unbuttoned after about 15 minutes.... mind you, that's a REAL 15 minutes with a meat-stick doubled over and chasing hard with the kicker thru nearly the entire battle. Man I would have LOVED to touch that fish. Not sure if I would've been able to convince the angler to let that one go if it had been legal to keep.

For now mid-40's is the best I can lay claim to.
