Fred, You are right, you got to fish alot of places when it was the real deal !!!
Anyways My biggest have came from the harbor and tillimook !

Satsop 2002, the last year Kings were open 56 lbs.....Weighed at Oly fish market about 6 hours after it was caught..... A big beautiful Buck, caught on Bobber and eggs, 65 lb power pro and 30 lb Maxima ultra green leader and a 5/0- 3/0 Vison hook superfly style tie up ! 45 minutes of profanities and insanity until my Homeboy Decker was able to put it into the net !!!
We hooked and landed 7 over 40 lbs on that particular day........What a fu..ckin day baby !!!

Trask River Oregon 1994, 54 lbs on Bobber and eggs !!!! weighed at the guide shop, they use tohave a great pic of that one on the wall of shame there......................

Humptulips.......from the 80's until present day, so many big kings to remember but I have never personally landed one over 50 lbs there and you would think that I would have as much tme as I have spent onthat river. But many over 30 lbs and a few over 40 lbs.........

Peace
