Tried Salmon Fishing today. Caught 2 Chinook, both unclipped, so I released them. Figure they were about 30 lbs each. Really good fight, ran around, under boat then surface ran for about 20 minutes. Really sad that I could not keep. Brought them alongside the boat before seeing they were unclipped and releasing. Maybe better luck next time.

Both looked about 4 foot long and about 8 to 10 inches at widest. Pity I could not keep. Nice dark back color.

Since when do you have to release unclipped chinook in the wallula pool?

Thought fall wild salmon run was a bit low so assumed they needed to be released to spawn. Anyways, my single fishing pole almost did not survive after the fights with these monsters. Please do not say I could keep. Beautiful fish, one looked about 4 inches longer so it was not the same fish, BTW. Think I need to go back to safer lake fishing.

Went back to same spot the next day. Threw down anchor and started getting bit like the day before but this time could not raise the fish to alongside boat. Saw color a few times, even had a few race on the surface. But not as successful. Good fishing, just no catching. Loads of fun though.
