Iheart Pluggin sent in this camera phone-looking shot of himself with a huge 55-pound Chinook salmon he caught in a river described as “Slightly south of the Yukon” on a K15 Kwikfish. Despite the sketchy details and blurry shot, that is one fine slab o’ king!
First Appalachian State…then Stanford…now THIS!
In what can be considered a one in a million shot, Sara Nudelman of Livermore, CA (getting a helping hand here from hubby Dan) caught this beautiful 24-pound king salmon while fishing for stripers with me on Sunday on the lower San Joaquin River. The fish bit a 3/4-ounce silver Hopkins spoon in 14 feet of water and put up a damn nice fight!
It’s not that catching a king down there is unheard of, but the lower San Joaquin is big, big water and has very few kings even on a good year. This season, of course, we have no kings anywhere in the Valley rivers, so this fish was the proverbial needle in the haystack. Kinda funny too, when you consider I trolled the Sacramento for 8 hours the day before (looking for kings) without even a takedown.
Almost 70 pounds of lake trout!
Marlin Coulombe of Sacramento, CA caught the largest lake trout (mackinaw) of 2007 on August 2. The Fiat-sized beast measured 51 inches long, had a 33-inch girth and weighed a whopping 69.4 pounds. The fish was taken from Great Bear Lake in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
The fish ate a special 16-inch AC Plug built by Allen Cole that Coulombe had his taxidermist custom paint to look like a grayling…the laker’s favorite food. The fish was hooked while trolling with guide Robin Stewart of Trophy Lodge in 40 to 50 feet of water.
The best part of the story, however, is…
The Perfect Storm on Lake Tahoe
Here’s what we found at the boat ramp on Friday morning at Lake Tahoe. Needless to say, we didn’t fish.
The video’s a little dark since it was 6 AM…(and shot on a cheesy point-and-shoot still camera) the clients really, really wanted to fish, so we loaded up and made a 3-hour drive straight from there down to the Delta. Before we left the mountains, however, I shot a couple more photos…
