Elk,
Nice feeeesssshhh! Got a pix?
You can prevent this happneing again by placing a 40# or 70# stainless barrel swivel between the spilt ring and hook. The fish can't gain an leverage off the lure this way and the hook will won't tear out of the fish while twisting.

Awesome fish! Where did you catch it at? You will have to give that lure a proper burial. It did a fine job. ![thumbs thumbs](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/thumbsup.gif)

That is one beautiful fish.... A fatty too! I sure miss being home now! It won't be too long until I am wetting a line, but I'll still miss the season.
I see the swivel now... I was under a Tiger (beer) influence last night...

Elkrun, I can't tell from the pic whether the adipose is clipped or not. Was it a hatchery? If so it's encouraging to see one that size for those of us planning to hit area 5 soon. Also, it almost appears to be a Fraser river white king (real fat with small head)?

stlhead - That looks like a fish that we used to call a Fraser River football - not sure if the Canadians clip all their fish.

Yeah I'm not sure if they clip either. I just read the SU sight and they report a pretty good clipped ratio at Neah Bay which is encouraging.

Not clipped. I haven't seen a clipped fish there so far this year. Either wild fish are making a huge comeback or they aren't clipping all that many. I'm worried about the selective fishery coming up next week. I dont forsee the 1 to 5 ratio they are talking about. I'm somewhere around 0 for 20 or more. I haven't seen a fin clipped silver yet either.... The fish measured 39 x 23.75 I just read Big Salmons weekly report... they mentioned the White Kings too. If thats referring to white meat, this one wasn't one. I also noticed that they are getting another 1 day halibut opener, with potential for another!
