Non-Fly Upper Columbia Summer Chinook

[Blake Harmon]

A few years ago I started to turn to the gear gig fairly heavily for salmon. Bought a boat and started participating in some of the states best fisheries for kings. WelI I picked a good time to start and the last few years have been terrific. The wife and I retained 37 chinook and a buncha sockeye this season. Anyone else fishing the upper columbia for these thugs? Here are a few pics. Cheers

Cool! But what the heck do you do with 37 chinook?

Feel up freezers. Give them to family, friends, co-workers, clients, so everyone can enjoy. I love salmon. And love giving them away... but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't there for the takedowns. They absolutely smash it when they grab.
