That one was 30+ which is my largest out of the Columbia. Alan fished Gold Beach earlier in the year and I missed him by a day or 2, I believe.
Gold Beach produces larger fish than the Columbia traditionally but it varies from year to year. I had 4 this year in the 30 lb range and this one at little over 40. Oregon and Washington produced a record number of fish for me in both Chinook and Coho.
Wow, you had a good year with the kings, 30 to 40 lbers are a great size, do you even fish for kokes any more?
I moved over to Boise some years back, just in time to see Anderson Ranch collapse. At that point I decided to put my efforts into chasing Salmon and Steelies throughout Oregon and Washington.
