Anyone ever catch Chinook on a flyrod??

Many inexpensive spinning rods can handle salmon. I fly fish 95+ % of the time so I don't spend a lot of money on spinning gear. My 12 yo son and my brother-in-law both caught king salmon on a 6' 6" medium action Shakespeare Excursion rod that came with a reel ( don't remember exactly which one) from Cabela's for about $70. We have caught 3-5 ft sharks as well with this model and we've never broke one yet.
