This massive 94-pound king salmon was only 3 pounds and change lighter than the IGFA All-Tackle World Record sport caught king, Les Anderson’s 97-pound, 4-ounce Kenai River monster. In fact, as a fresh fish out in the salt, he may have been a record breaker!

It wasn’t caught on rod and reel, however. It was captured as brood stock for a hatchery program in the famed River’s Inlet area of British Columbia.

Dollars to donuts that fish was at least 105 before it stopped feeding. Knowing it was used for brood stock warms my heart! Awesome!

How long you think its been out in the Ocean before it came in to Spawn???can`t be 3 years for sure I`d say 6-7 years???
JD says
Thats probably 5 or even 6 year old fish!
