Thats a nice fish, the one from the queets makes me sick! That poor fish should have been allowed to spawn. Not drown in a damn net and be sold.

Thanks Guys!  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.

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

Wow that thing is a toad John, certainly a rare fish. I don't know if that fish goes 35 but certainly would think it touches the 30lb mark.. Keith
