Nice Chinook, even without you calling it a king it's pretty easy to tell by the black gums in it's mouth.

Now with that fly rod you have I'd love to see a pic of a steelhead. That's one fish I never caught when I lived in the Pacific Northwest, though it was not for the lack of trying on my part.

Nice King, Gary! Thanks for a little taste of SE AK.

Now I'm heading to the garage freezer to get my own taste of Alaska....hmm...King, Coho, Ling, hali, or rockfish?

Decisions, decisions....King it is! ;D

That looks like the little greenie jig you posted about last year?  I picked up a half dozen of them to try in my water and season opens Saturday, to bad I'm finishing installing a new engine in my daughters Camry tomorrow, if all works out, and Saturday I'm in Donora doing plumbing repair for my mom, can't understand she's like 85, I asked her when did you quit doing plumbing mom?  Not really but if mom needs help, I'm there, I will fish next week while everyone else is working.

Nice fish Gary
You too Stevewhat a trip you had.
And that's a beauty Ted.

Maybe I can post a pic of a nice King by Wednesday!
