This was a 70# king caught July 2nd 2014 at Hocktaheen on a spoon, my son Jack and friend Zane are featured here in a comical attempt trying to pick up this giant king salmon.
The trolling line was taut and leading away from the boat’s starboard side. It was a huge fish and the fisherman tensed up, gripping the gaff hook tighter in his right hand. This had to be the granddaddy of them all, he thought, as he held the line in his hands. Gradually he eased the fish closer to the boat hoping to get a clear hit with the back of the gaff hook on the head of the huge fish.
good as you had hoped? Maybe once you had really, really good salmon and keep trying to replicate that experience without success?
By accident I have discovered the secret to perfectly grilled salmon, every time, quick and simple.
