Very Nice Fish...A common theme between all trophy fish is the shoulders(and tail wrist). Smaller fish just dont have them. If I wasnt such a computer motard, i would post a pic of a 23lb silver. What was the girth on that Hooknose OP?? 20-22"? That would be a good one to mount, i mean replicate
On a bugrod too

I could only kill a fish like that if it took it in the gills and was going to die. The only fish I keep are when Im spoon fishing and one takes it and the hook hits the gills. (he went back)

the fight was Freaking amazing! the fish did everything it could to get away. I dont think I could do justice to how great a fight it was.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Wow.

Thanks for sharing the pic.

Awesome fish, OP. Looks like an easy 20 to me (the "20-pound silver" comment I made in another thread wasn't ment to include yours).

The look in that fishes eye says it all. He's pretty much snarling and saying "if I had arms I'd kick your a**."

One of the best pics posted here.

Yeah... he almost looks like one of those salmon cartoon characters with big arms and boxing gloves on...

His face would make a great logo for a hockey team or something....

The Chilliwack, BC "Fighting Coho"... heheh

Can you tell I'm bored @ work?? Is it 5 o'clock yet? \:D

It's a big hatchery silver, no one's trying to take that away, but it aint 20. I've weighed fish bigger than that.

I'll give it to you if you're 6"4, and about 220
