This massive coho was caught in the hatchery trap on the NF Clackamas River in Oregon. It weighed 30.5 pounds.

We knew the fish would be big this but this big??? Holy Cow!!! A good freind of mine caught on 21.5 out of the Snohomish a couple weeks ago and Ive heard of a few coho being caught on the OP that have gone over 30. One of which was a hatchery fish. Rumor has it that the Indians netted a 28 pound hatchery coho on the Dungeness.
Ohhhh to catch one of these monsters on the bugrod in the river. Could you even land it if you hooked up???
I cant wait for those Satsop fish show. I might have to get down there with some big lead eye rabbit leaches...
