We set the boat record with this 62lb chinook salmon caught in the waters of Prince Rupert BC just south of Alaska. We caught the king salmon with a herring fished about 45' deep. A big run of chinook had moved in from Langara Island the night before. Watch as FishinBC angler Brian the "Anchorman" (aka - Ron Bergundy) brings in this trophy fish and our excitement as we find out exactly how big this fish is. Throughout BC a 30 pound salmon is considered a tyee while a 50 is a major trophy and anything above this is the upper percentile of the chinook salmon population and is not unheard of but certainly rare and something to behold. We've all fished salmon for our lifetimes and this is the biggest fish we've ever caught.
