[#0000FF]Used to be a couple of spawning streams in Idaho that had runs of red kokes every fall...that allowed "unlimited" harvest. If there is plenty of spawning going on and local fish and game does not have an egg-taking program they allow mass removal to at least make sure some of the fish are utilized. They are great smoked but not much good for frying or other cooking methods.
But the ones in the American River were big king salmon...up to 40 or 50 pounds. I saw guys try to catch them in a big net and get dragged down the river. Also saw one guy get speared by the fish he had run through with a javelin. The fish whipped around and got the guy in the leg with the same spear.
