Those living fossils are TUFF and no how to fight for survival.chuck said:I beached a sturgeon that was every bit of 8' long the one and only time I went sturgeon fishing. It left me curled into a tight ball on the rocks and unable to move for about an hour. My back was tied in a knot and my legs were shaking uncontrollably for the last 10 minutes of it. It takes good technique to fight a fish like that from the bank and I didn't have it.
Other than that a fair number of 30-40lb chinook is the best I can do. I netted a 52lb bright chinook for a buddy once. -

0- 5 lbsI fished for kings in the Samish once, but you really have to know what your'e doing to catch one, and I didn't. I once reeled in something big on a Westport charter in between the constant puking, but that's pussy fishing, and I don't count that.
This pole made me realize that I don't tend to fish for anything big. Pinks in the Skagit is probably the biggest, but it's probably been a decade since I've done that. Anymore, it's all about finding decent lake trout to catch, and it's becoming more and more of an adventure to get to where they are. My favorite fishing trip of my life happened this last summer--my favorite because it involved packing a telescoping rod and some lures on an already long and super fun dirt bike ride. Pull the bike right up the the lake (7 miles from any road), clearest water I've ever seen, catch four nice rainbows (water so clear you could see every fish within 50 yards and watch your lure doing its thing), behead and gut them, throw them in the pack, ride another three hours with trout on my back, back to camp to fry them up! -

That's right. But they're trout that are TUFF and will smash your fucking face in.Pitchfork51 said:I was disappointed to learn a steelhead is a fucking trout.

Steelhead eat salmon for breakfast doovil...literally. You can't hold the juveniles together or the steelhead all end up bloated with little forked tails sticking out their mouths.Pitchfork51 said:I was disappointed to learn a steelhead is a fucking trout.
Salmon are the fat, stinky, simpleton pussies. Steelhead are like lions in NW fish world. Salmon are more like wildebeests. -
