Many moons ago, we were motoring back to our campsite on the CQ river my daughter called my attention to something in the rips off Kydaka Pt. As we got closer it appeared to be a good sized fish floundering on the surface. As we approached, I reached over with my net and scooped up an exhausted 25# Chinook with a rope still looped through it's operculum. Apparently, someone decided to string it like a trout but did not secure it very well. No idea how long it was struggling out there as we hadn't seen a boat in the area for some time, but family and friends sure ate well that night.
