Recently retired and first time trying to post. King salmon story. Columbia river Washington guided trip. Capt. says set hook and yanked out of mouth so second one was a gentle pull and immediately 300 ft. screamed off reel. Fish fought valiantly until a nosey boater approached to watch and snagged my line in his down rigger. With foul words out of my mouth I looked down to see fish under my boat. Unbelievably he undid line and fish was still on. The Lord was on my side and fought for half hour. 35 lbs and finally one that didnt get away. Did great with sockeye also. All was delicious on grill.

Nice fish and welcome. Those sockeye are the best eating fish out of that fishery as far as I’m concerned. Thanks for posting.👍

Welcome to the Stage. Keep the pictures coming!
You’ll still be retelling the memory of that outing when your too old to fish anymore.
Nice King and tasty sockeye!
