The look of a fresh from the Ocean White Sturgeon, this one was mere days after the first Pinks arrived.
These fat whitish chrome fish are madness on the end of a rod, this one fought like a 8 foot pin cushion from the Harrison ;D.
Big fish and crappy picture, of course my camera was dead from using it for video, so this was taken on the clients phone.
Launch time :thumbup:. Spent $1600.00 dollars on a digital SLR to get shots like these and second trip out, BOYAAH, got the money shot on this 7 footer.
I'll also add the biggest fish I've been a part of. This one was MASSIVE in girth but not super long. I had one client,the one trying to lift it's head :happy:, land this baby by himself in 45 minutes

He's a local Chilliwack farmer who was bloody tuff as hell and really laid the boots to this fish. I believe in working the fish hard and never letting them rest, constantly applying pressure with the boat and motor to keep them mad and running, none of this pansy sitting down and holding on stuff. While you reat the fish gets back energy and this game can go on forever. On this particular trip the guy pictured had his dad who was 70 and his dads bro who was older and the guys 9 year old son, we were without backup. Would have been nice to have some more muscle for a better pic, but is still my most memorable encounter with these awesome beasts.
It was on one of the first day the pinks had showed up above Mission, GOD I cannot wait for this pink run, and the behemoths that arrive with them ;D.
