Best coho of the season....

Up until I put the beast in the net, I was convinced it was just another big a$$ king. Boy was I wrong!

Congrats to Master Nick Farrer for the biggest coho to grace my vessel all year.

Very nice fish Doc! I love coho.

wish I could have got the fight on video, nice fish Nick!

Nice Ho.Good luck,
SZ

So... How big was it?

Keith

Gorgeous fish!

Toad!

I'm going to guess 17lbs.

That's a very nice ho.

Nice fish. good job

You know, anymore, posting a size/wt always seems to turn these threads sideways.

Let's just say it was bigger than this one....

Or we could just call 'em both Orygun 20's

Fo sho!

Keith

I so want to catch another fish or two before things wind down here. Very nice fish, can I go with you next time.....

Looks like a fat late Satsop fish.

Nice!

Gawd, I love those Chehalis System coho.

Awesome silver!

that is a sweet coho

If I get a pair of glasses from you can I fish with you?

Yeah me too!

Damn I wish it was September again.

That is a horse, tough one to top I am sure.

Chad

Your wish is my command.....

Even touched it up for a bit more of a nostalgic feel.

6:48 AM..... and about to get chinarked as I recall.

Pretty decent one



Another mid- high teener



This one was huge, netted it thinking 20 pound Chinook, then once she was in the bag we realized what we had.



Terrific year for Coho on the Fraser system, first year in many there was no Commie or FN Commie Chum fishery, ya think theres a corealation. Around here low Chum runs means Coho and Interior Steelhead sneak through, but at a cost to nutrient value provided by Chum. The Chum are like women, you can't live with em and can't live without em.

Had two glory days, a half dozen good days, and a whole bunch of ho hum days out there chasin' coho. But the most special trip of the season was when my oldest daughter Jodi called to ask if I could take her and a bunch of college friends out in the boat. I said sign 'em up for CCA and you got a deal. Sorry to the folks that got the last minute boot that weekend. How could I say "no" to my own daughter?

Couple days later I get a call from LMWS, asking if there's room for her, too.... and it's not even a Daddy weekend! Again, ain't no way I could say "no".... so I ended up launching on a Saturday AM with EIGHT people on board. Got all but one guy a decent fish.

Fish of the day came to Jodi.... now tell me, is there a better way to make a papa proud?

+1

My favorite fish to catch by a mile especially the fighters like the first fish posted. Awesome thread and pics great smile

Found this post thru the googles looking for a biggest coho thread here
But glad I found this instead

That's technically ELEVEN seasons ago... where does a DECADE go in the blink of an eye?

Found a few more the past coupla months. It ain't always GLORY, but a day spent on home waters RARELY disappoints.

Good lookin' cohos, Doc!

Are those natives?

I was born here but am not native by most's interpretation of the word
