My fishing buddy Phil.
This is a Chum Salmon, fresh from the Salt. Squamish River.

This is me with Male starting to colour.

Two we kept for Smoking. Probably 12-15 pounds ea.

I hooked over 60, played over 40, landed over 20. I had to break off about a half a dozen when they stripped my Fly line into the backing. The line is worth more than a fish I am going to release anyway.
