THATS BIGGER THAN 35LBS
Way to go Jim!!
Way to go Jim. That is one HUGE fish
Successfully snagged???? Uhhh.....ins't snagging illegal?
I caught this fish and don't know why the term snagged was used, it was caught on a lure and hooked through the mouth. It was a beauty.
I would have to say, That sure looks like it was more than 35 LBS!!!! It looks more like it's 40 to 45 lbs, maybe bigger!
I am the culprit who posted the message! So sorry, Jim! As a person who doesn't fish, I had no idea that I misspoke! Eegads! Humble in Amity, Margie
Now we know the rest of the story -- Nice job Jim
Beautiful Fish..nothing like fresh salmon on the table. Good job!
