4 lbs shy of bc world record

[jeffywestcoast]

A friends brother was fishing out of terrace on Wednesday and caught this pig... look photoshopped I know.. but it's real... 79 lbs

Looks a little dark.......they spawn early up there?

 

[jeffywestcoast]

this was caught on the Skeena should have put this in the freshwater I guess, I dunno anyone who would make up a story like that , who's to say they don't have monsters in the river up there by the end of july..Dunno.. big fish tho...Skeena is definitely known for big fish...

I have old friends who once lived on Vancouver Island, now back to their hometown, Terrace, catching a few big fish, and many nice ones off the sandbars and in a welded boat in each summer. Very fortunate to live in a beautiful snow capped mountain valley.

Somewhere i have always wanted to fish, and you can see why..

Beautiful fish to bad it had to die in the hands of an angler who will likely hang it on his wall

Enjoy the Skeena while you still can.

This should be in the "Where are they?" thread.

That's probably a Kalum monster and yes they enter the rivers way earlier up north.

What would you have done with it FA?

I wouldn't be willing to release that fish although I agree 100% its better off spawning then on my wall or in my smoker. Congrats on a giant I wish the skeena fish came my way.

I would of had a pile of smoked canned salmon

 

[jeffywestcoast]

Im sure it will not go to waste.

 

[Gunsmith]

I would not be surprised if that was taken in the "Hog Hole" just below where the Kalum enters the Skeena.

A true sfbc derby fish if there ever was one. I would take the time to get that certified!! DEED I WOULD!!!!!

That's all I do with 90% of the salmon I catch.Love it in sandwichs!Just myself I eat a couple of jars a week or more.
Other than candied,I don't care for it that much cooked any other way.

 

[trendsetter]

What a monster!! Any more details? How'd he catch it; trolling, cut plug. mooching?

 

[SeaWolf]

Plunking most likely with a spin and glow, my guess is the confluence of the Skeena and Kalum.

 

[jeffywestcoast]

I would say that's probably the case, I all know for sure is it was outta Terrace somewhere..pretty crazy river systems.. need to know your stuff up there.. Sounds like trip of a lifetime .
