The only one I got that was close (very), was a 48 lb. (unofficial scale) winter chinook from the NF Lewis, about seven years ago. I've had others that were high 30's (38, Columbia Fall URB & 39, B-10).

It was late December and we were actually steelhead fishing. 15 lb. mainline and 12 lb. leader. What a surprise! That was one day I was glad to have a drift boat. We must have chased that fish for 45 minutes!

We also caught two really nice steelhead, that day!
