I crossed the bar at Illwaco the first time when I was 5 years old in an 18' Glasspar. I've fished out of every port from Tillamook to Neah bay and I have fished them often. Neah bay has been my second home for July and August for the last 15 years and I have killed a ton of kings over the last 45 years. I have yet to kill a sport caught ocean King over 30lbs and wouldn't be surprised if I ever do but ill keep trying. Hardly a day goes by fishing out of Westport that 30s are not caught and lost on the radio. It's strange that these are almost never caught by someone in the derby. Yea I've caught a few at B10, the Harbor and Rivers but for me they just don't count. I'm sure I broke 50 on a fish I now regret killing above White bluff in the mid 80s but it looked nothing like Steve's fish. Steve's fish is my holly grail. Any King off one of Washington's North beaches does it for me but over 30 sure would make it a bit better.
