Landed a 30 lb plus Chinook today on a Silver Colorado 25 min fight it was a White. One other Chinook on two casts after the first one but it spit the hook great fight as well .There out there in numbers at the honey hole again. Coho riseing too, Sturgeon hunting tommorow.

i bet that fish is brighter then it appears because if you noticed, the sun is hitting him from the left. His body is blocking it from the light and therefore looking dark.

Just as I was telling myself what I quiet night it has been and finally some down time unlike the last two weeks.... ::)

Not to mention the 6lbs of prime Roe . This fish was freshest one of the day where i was and I don't need to keep it as I have lots of Ocean caught Springs from the west coast . I hear whites are good smoked and I thought I would try out my buddies smoker . Grub i will save you a peice of the tasty candy.

FYI, I stole the eye balls. We Chinese make soup with them. :)

It's a special name given to chinook salmon over 30lbs. I don't know why or when this started, but that's what it is.

Tyee is now a bit of a bastardized term (as it is in this case). Technically a spring can only be called a tyee if it meets a bunch of different qualifications. To be a member of the tyee club these criterea must be met:
1) It must be caught out of boat which is rowed (no power)
2) It must be caught on line no more than 26.25lbs breaking strain
3) Qualifying fish must be taken from the waters of Discovery Passage bounded on the north by Seymour Narrows and on the south by a line extending due west from Cape Mudge.
4) Rod used must be between 6-9 feet
5) only single action reels are allowed (I believe)
6) Fish must be 30+ lbs
7) A fish must pass a certification by a judging panel to be considered a tyee.
There are many other rules but basically the whole tyee thing originated on the island from the Tyee Club (http://www.tyeeclub.org/rules.htm)
Some fishermen here now apply the term to a large spring, but if you were to follow the history, traditions, and rules for calling a fish a tyee, then you know it is really a borrowed and incorrect label.

So true but it's over 30 lbs, my leader was 14 lbs, single barbless hook. The true tyee club started in Campell Rver but it's nice to call a fish a TYEE .
-
I guess the reason I made my initial post is that there is a time hounored tradition in BC invovling the pursuit of a true tyee and its something that I personally don't think should be diluted by people using the term "tyee" inappropriately.
Until I get in a row boat in Cambel River and catch a fish that 30+lbs spring, I wont be posting any reports with the word tyee in it - but thats just me ;) .
If labelling a fish a tyee (regardless of whether it is or it isnt) makes that fishing memory more meaningful to you then I guess its what ever floats your boat!

All fishing trips are meaningful thats why we keep going as for calling it a TYEE why not it's over 30 lbs a true TYEE maybe not but still over 30 lbs.
-
Lol i call springs over 30 lbs tyee most people do i dont really see the problem with that. Those rules are to get a tyee that is recognized by the club so you can join its not just to call it a tyee.
-
I prefer to just call it "Big" :P

Maxima makes 14lb leader? Thought it was 10, 12, 15lb
-
Who said anything about Maxima ?. Rapala makes 14 lb leader thats what i was using Maxima main.

quote from the Tyee Club website:
The Tyee are Chinook salmon, 30 pounds or larger.
This is even stated in the fishing regs:
Average-size chinooks are know as springs in B.C. Those over 13.5 kg are called tyees.
A chinook 30 pounds + desereves it's own name as they are truly a marvel. Congrats on the tyee legend

That fish smoked up awsome turned out great I allready ate 1/3 of it in a day. Smoked it for 18 hrs used apple chips and hickory with a secret brine . The meat was still moist after 18 hrs in the smoker.
-

-
No My buddies it was called totem i think. Same size as little cheif (electric burner).
