30 lbs salmon

Today I was fishing with another good buddy Eli . We were pre-fishing for an up coming tournament “King of the Lake”
Its was a nice afternoon, calm winds with big hooks on the Lowrance ..I knew the conditions looked really good ..lines in and trolling !! We managed a few fish before Shamu showed up…….this fish hit hard on a fly …really hard …peeling drag every where ..Eli was driving the boat and bringing up the other line to clear the way for the big one!!I finally got the salmon near the boat and we both realized the size!!! Eli netted that salmon and in the boat!!!
42.7″ long and 30 lbs on the IGFA scale !! Holy jumping Salmon …Hope I can get a few that size tournament day.

that fish could be 40 lbs by the end of summer!!!
