As always it was spectacular. Easy limits of halibut, lingcod and coho. But the best news was the big chinook. Our group landed three in excess of 30 and one 45. If have have never done this trip you should consider it for next year.

Done it twice and did not cross it off my bucket list.

I saw that beast, Dave! Awesome fish!!!!!!

Now that's a piggy!

Yes Hank this is unusually late for the big chinook. But . . .

Rico and T-Bird are still alive? Who da thunk it?

hogs!

Why didn't you any catch bigger ones? It seems to me like you could have caught bigger.

Nice fish Dave... but I'm with Nick on this one, I'll be impressed when you pull one in that is bigger than hanks cat

Not really, though it does slow down in August there are (most years) definitely kings to be had. A few years back I fished with 3 residents and 1 non res and limited the boat, 10 kings on 8/17. I also know of a 63lbs. king taken on 9/3 and a couple 50's caught in late August.
Definitely wouldn't make August my 1st or 2nd choice of months to target kings on the west side of P.O.W Is. but if a guy knows where to look, they can be found.

Nice fish, Dave. I think I'll photoshop the fish into one of my grinning w/fish pictures.

Hank would pay serious Hankbux to have one of those PhotoShopped into his avatar pic.

Nice work.

Mr Vedder's clean living continues to reward him.

Nice kinger............Good luck,

Now THAT looks like a TRUE 45er.

Awesome fish.............

Mulkey 45 = anyone else's 25.... unless they're from Orygun.

Nice fishies, Rev.
