We
were looking forward to a great day of fishing for Silvers
and Pinks.
The
weather was excellent and a perfect day to catch a world
record humpy. We often head
out on fishing trips in hopes of getting some great photos
for our website, but who would have
thought that on this day Avis would end up with a world
record pink salmon, 14.49 lbs, just
shy of 14 1/2 pounds. It was an amazing fish!
This
fish had it's way with Avis for about 30 minutes, but in
the end Avis won and Humpzilla
will now go down as not only a WA state record fish but
also a All Tackle World record fish!
