Caught my biggest Springer/Summer king in a river this morning. Buddy showed me a new hole on a new river and wham. Native so had to release, but we got measurements and it taped out a 34.5lbs. Fought this monster for over 30 minutes before tiring him out on 10lb test steelhead gear :cheers:

And it's got to be a river that's open for kings, but not native kings. I bet it's in Canada. Not too many options around here yet. From the looks of it, it's been in the river a while too. Hmmm.... You know when you post photos like that it just makes me curious.

Haha yep, buddy showed me the area. Definetely not new to the ol samish hah! Didnt even know there were kings in this place, theres not many, but when theres zero people around, they seem to be more hungry!

Dude, I totally get it. I knew there was a salute, but couldn't find it, lol!
Anyway, we are going to hook up. I want to get my teenage son dialed in to a river salmon/Steelhead.
I've wanted this for a long time. We will be in touch.
