If I caught something like that I would faint. What did you do with it?

It is a King Salmon. We filleted it, vacuum sealed it and ate some fresh. Makes nice eating in the winter. Best Salmon there is for eating. I like Copper River Red Salmon too.

Yes it did have quite a fight. In fact it nearly pulled me into the river with it. Someone grabbed me from behind to keep me from going into the river. LOL It was the most fun I have had in a long time. It is a King Salmon, very delicious eating. I am really hoping to go over there this summer and do it again.
