Saw a friend weigh-in an ocean caught silver yesterday afternoon on an extreemely accurate digital scale. When it read 23ibs. our eyes got a little wider. I thought the state record was listed as 20.6 lbs. in the fishing reg. pamphlet but I cant find one of my numerous copies around. I was going to give him a call and razz him about not driving to Montesano and having it officially wieghed. Any validity to the 20.6 lb. current record.
And yes, the 7-day a week ocean fishing schedule out of Westport is still well worth it!!!

that record was broken last week, with a 21 pound fish, and then the record was broken again yesterday, whith a silver that went 22.8 pounds! but, it sounds like your buddy had the BIG one! there is a post on www.steelheader.net that describes the new record! wow, what a bunch of HOG's being caught this year!!!!

Wow "Chucky" I hope you ribbed him good,
ummmmmmmmmmm I wonder where that fish was headed............ I'll be looking for his Big Brother on the 6th .......Os
