It's a great fish but holding it this close to the camera is just wrong!

Bragging may not bring happiness, but no man having caught a large fish goes home through an alley.

Looks like I'm going to have to drive 7 hours.

Oh, and when I retire, I'm moving to Oregon.

I'm from Joseph Oregon. We saw fish like that a lot when we'd ride our bikes up to the lake and go fishing. It has some of the best fishing in any lake I've ever seen in Oregon or Washington!

I agree about the camera shot. I hope the angler has some normal proportion shots, that one really does the fish an injustice.

Is this lake ever going to stop? I saw this pic last winter of 20 5+ lb kokes lined up on a dock. I dont know whats more impresive the fact that state record after record is coming from this lake. Or that there is a lake that holds "numbers" of 5 lb kokes. Wish I could fish it.
