I'm not so sure about long arming the photo. I mean, look at the awkward size/shape of the head, not thehook nose, but just the grossly disturbed proportions. Also, if they have given a certified weight from the biologists. just my .02 cents.:-"

Who cares if he's long arming it???

It's a big freaking salmon, and more importantly, it looks like it completed its job (spawning) and keep those hog genes in the gene pool........

well you can see he has it sitting on his knee so he can hold that hummer up. But if you look close enough you can see his hand on the bottom holding that beast up. Its a big fish no doubt. Let the big ones spawn then there kids come back big to.

Sorry Dilbert,, that is one of the downfalls of written text/email etc. suttle humor is often missed. (-:

I thank god that this rare beautiful fish was found after it had finished spawning (hopefully with several fish) and not found in some sort of gill-net, or caught by a poacher.

amen to that that means some of its genes will go into producing more fish that size
If it looks fishy, Then fish it, If it dont look fishy, fish it anyways. <')}}}}><

Thats a freaking monster.I couldn't imagine hooking up with that bad boy.But on the other side of that I'm just as glad to see it spawned.
