57# nook off the Satsop some 15+ years ago. Haven't touched one over 45 since. Saw 2 nook over 50 taken on the hump this year but I wouldn't have taken them home for cat food. Also was the longest fight I have ever had. Hit 5 feet off shore in a narrow slot on it's way through and about jerked my arm out of socket.
