That was on the Kenai. Saw the guy 2 days in a row as I went downstream from my fish camp. A lot of watchers from the bank as he had it brought up to the waters right next to Centennial boat launch area. TV cameras and all got to watch the loosing of it. From some witness's there it doesn't sound like it was as big as everybody was hoping.
