w. coyote Returning Adult Registered: 07/17/03 Posts: 365 Loc: Everett Wa.	Thats a nice fish, the one from the queets makes me sick! That poor fish should have been allowed to spawn.

JohnnyCoho Juvenile at Sea Registered: 01/22/00 Posts: 183 Loc: Rockport,WA,USA	Thanks Guys! $\:D$ Unlike the Queets fish this was caught and released, unharmed in a very short time. After fish was released we sat and ate lunch and watched him sittin' out in the current of the gin clear water, just lookin' pissed that he was caught. Swam off up-river after about 10 minutes of sulking. Also, net used on this one is a rubber coated knotless C&R net. _________________________ John Koenig John's Guide Service "Wounded Warriors In Action" Associate & NW Field Coordinator "Life is short.

B-RUN STEELY River Nutrients Registered: 02/08/00 Posts: 3233 Loc: IDAHO	Hate to be a spoiled sport but that first fish is not even close to 35 lbs.... It might be 20... The second one from the net might be however... This might be the largest exageration I ever saw on this board.. 35 lbs... Thats funny _________________________ Clearwater/Salmon Super Freak

I don't know if that fish goes 35 but certainly would think it touches the 30lb mark.. Keith $\:D$ _________________________ It's time to put the red rubber nose away, clown seasons over.
