As I recall a salmon will lose 1/4 to 1/3 it's weight when dress cleaned. - so that fish could have been in the 10 to 11lb range when landed.
Keep going... I think I'm beginning to like you.
Thanks for the photo Yoda. I am always the one taking photos of fish and other people, rarely have photos of myself these days.
In case you're wondering, that's not where I caught it. I paraded with the fish like a hero down to Yoda so
he could see it... Oops, no I meant so I could tell him that they were biting somewhere else and he should go there.
