Snagly you have a point there, my personal best trevally (lowly) and chinook are pretty close in weight, 58 and 65 respectively. But, I sure wouldn't want that trevally on the end off my king rod.

Also, (with due respect to the kings) I've only pup-tent my waders/shorts on two occasions while fishing:

1) When 30,000 dogs roll in unison five feet in front of you at Hoodsport.

2) You're reeling in as fast as you can and the water is "humped-up" behind your resin chugger by the jack pack in hot pursuit.
