alot more salmon photo's but ya see one you see them all, they were probably 7-10 lbs for the most part and up to 27", we had a limit of 6 a day and we all filled each day we fished (some days we site seen or halibut fished so probably ended up with 24-27 fish kept)... I lost probably 4 fish to each one I landed... I was using 12 lb test flourocarbon, and it just wasn't up to the load of fish in Kenai current.. I changed up to 20 lb test and started landing a few more fish, but the fights were just incredible with tail dancing fish peeling off line out into the full current of the Kenai, it was some epic battles... I'm not sure I've ever had fish pull that hard, a few of the line breaks ended up in my son-in-law getting a pretty big bruise from the line snapping back when another kid broke his fish off... It was sure fun, got to be some of the most fun battles I've ever had with fish on a fly rod..... 10 WT with a heavy duty Ross reel, used to think it was over gunned for everything, I'm not so sure anymore.. Sorry for the long drawn out fish story been building up all summer... Later J
