Said no one ever to this salmon...well, unless it was in reference to whatever was on the end of your line.

Chums are the hardest fighting Salmon by far.


Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

It's a spawned out male sockeye.

Chrome sockeye on a fly rod are the hardest fighting salmon.

Smoke that fish? Not a chance - I'm a fish snob and have standards.

AKCHOPPER: I have caught a LOT of Chum Salmon and have to disagree with your contention.
By FAR the greatest fight I have had with a Salmon was a 72 pound chrome bright King Salmon I caught in the Marmot Bay area of Afognak Island, Alaska!
I am comparing my experiences pound for pound (Chums vs. King), time of fight compared to size - and then strength and tenacity.
By the way I have caught Chums in both salt and fresh water in Alaska and Washington states.

For the record this is a freshwater landlocked kokanee salmon. He is not spawned out yet and was caught at the inlet into the lake before he had a chance to move up the creek to spawn. Took the picture in a just couple second. Turned him upright and sent him on his way. As for eating or keeping, it's not a factor in Utah where I caught him. It's illegal to posses kokanee salmon from Sept. 10 to Nov. 30 in Utah. You can catch them, but all must be released. As kokanee go he is pretty good sized which run a lot smaller than their ocean going cousin the sockeye salmon.

I'll agree with AKCHOPPER. pound per pound, chums pull harder than any other salmon.
Reds are tough and acrobatic, kings are strong and their size can make for a hell of a fight, silvers are fun, Pinks are a pan in the a$$, but chums are all of the above.

Cool pic Big Sky.

Big Sky, you need to come up and visit us here in Ak. Time it right and we can tackle all 4 salmon species in a day.
