October 23, 2018 By JD Leave a Comment

Fish flesh comes in all sorts of interesting colors. Just look at this picture I took after filleting a day’s catch off the Oregon coast.

The crazy blue green of the lingcod…beautiful orange of Chinook salmon and whiteish meat of black rockfish.

Ever wonder what makes a fish’s flesh the color that it is?

94-Pound King Salmon from British Columbia

November 15, 2017 By JD 4 Comments

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!  

Speaking of giant salmon, check out my list of 10 of the biggest salmon ever

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.
