SteveM Posted October 10, 2012 Author Posted October 10, 2012 Ok and now to the big fish Went for a days fishing on the Fraser river while in British Columbia..... What a day!!! Managed to hook play and land a true monster! It took me 2 hours to play on stand up an fight tackle (no chair or harness) and I was totally beat by the end of it. But it was so worth it. 11 feet long! 5 feet round the middle and an estimated 600lb!!!!! Here are the pics Quote
