Taimen are an awesome fish. I have had the chance to fish for them on 2 occasions. I love the fight as well as the elusiveness of this cousin of the Trout and Salmon.
Catching them on a rod and reel is not as hard as one would think providing that you have the right equipment and enticement for them. I prefer my 11 wt flyrod and some of my custom long streamer flies.
They few fish that I did catch were barely in the 70 to 80lb range. They put up an awesome fight and are carefully returned to grow up to live another day. [cool]
