Heard. I know. Hha just making convo.

Funny thing was. Both those days we caught a (what i thought was a 14-17# fish) sizable coho FIRST.

The first grainy pic i hooked those 3 fish 14-18-21lbs in 3 casts.

So first fish....sizeable...was our comparison fish. Then i reeled in the hummers the NEXT fish.....so you look at that fish.....then the big one and go...ehhhh. decent fish.

Then i went home. Threw a tape and a scale on em. Blew me away. The second one i wasnt even going to tape or weigh had the knife in my hand to filet and Just offhandely thought "wonder what it compares to my other big cohos"

Digital berkely number...so yeah..not the best..said 21.6....

Then i started looking at it....the circumference of the wrist is bigger than my BEST 26.8 lbs stellhead..by a decent margin. Both carried a thickness ive never seen through the fish. Fought like it too...like trying to pull plywood sideways...just wouldnt ever turn.

I had my girlfriend verify my taping on the second one multiple times on the soft tape.
