Biggest Fish On A Fly Rod

[kochanut]

i hope this attaches. i have actually cuaght much bigger salmon on a fly rod then this one, but this is the most memorable one becasue of where and when i caught it. this is where the Skykomish and Wallace Rivers confluance near Goldbar WA. i had just come home after spending 4 years in japan and i was fishing with the old man. this day he hooked a late run king and it was like fighting a moving truck! this chum i have pictured here took me about 45 minbutes to land on my 5 weight. he took me into the backing 6 times. each time he took off my reel absolutly screamed! and when he would get close you could hear my line sizzle through the water. i was about 6 years younger then, and wore glasses in order to see my strikes.
