[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2413969, member: 63925"] The fishery here is a lot more complicated than most realize. Its really difficult to balance the forage to the population which is based upon stocking and wild card fudge factor of naturally produced salmon. Look closely and see there is a adipose fin. The stocked fish are removed. Seems the naturals grow bigger. Recent new record is a natural. No one really knows how many fish are being naturally produced every year which is a major problem to try to manage the stocking numbers to manage the forage base. I would not be surprised to see record broken again this year. I had one king in last year that almost dumped my reel which has never remotely come close to that.! I have caught quite a few 30+ fish (on scale) and this one had power that I never felt before! Yeah, I know! Big one got away! The last few years has produced few high 30's and no doubt this fish was more than that. Of course buddy with me was wondering if I foul hooked a sturgeon!😂 [/QUOTE]
