personaly i only fish for salmon living on the west coast of canada we have some of the best salmon fishing in the world!
my best salmons were a 47 pound chinook or "king salmon" a 12 pound sockeye salmon (that was great eating) and a 6 foot long Fraser river sturgeon it took me and 1 more person to lift it guess it was over 100 pounds... that was a fight lol about 1 hour! so much fun.
