    That is awesome...
    We have caught some real nice up to and around 40 lbs here in Sacramento in the past...but it has been get'n real crappy...so no fishing this year for salmon and next year is still not decided completely. They need to get control of the rampant poaching. that would help tremendously.
    Great story...wish I had a chance for one like that. : )
