the squamish has lots of cohos and some # of chums but they are in a lot of the little back pools but my dad caught a 40 pound chum yesterday and lot more before that and some coho but no pinks yet ??? and the system is still in afect from the chemical spill though its on the upcline still some more years before its better

    tight lines coho :)

coho13....not to be nitpicky or anything, but 40 lb chum would be the new world record...from what I can tell world record is 35-37 lbs. that's mindblowingly huge.

Since the largest Chum ever weighed was only 36 and with almost 20 years experience fishing that system I've never seen one over 20 I call Bee Ess.

I was on the Squamish all day today-maybe 10% of the normal Chum numbers for prime time.

Interestingly enough, the largest known fish seem to be caught in Thailand and China. The largest catfish ever recorded, and very likely one of the largest freshwater fish ever known, was a female Giant Mekong (she was laden with eggs), caught in May of 2005. She came in at an unbelievable mass of 646lbs, and measured a full 9 feet. (Mekong are recorded as known man-eaters. Certainly makes one ponder just what she might have been feeding on to get her to such a gross size.) Such a fish took several men hours to land.
