36lb King
One of my good friends just sent me this pic of a pig of a king he got this afternoon 7/12. He took it on a white echip flasher/white fly. He says it was 36lbs on the marina scale, take it for what its worth, I didn't see it in person. He said it took the line counter to 863ft. Pretty cool!!

Wow, I would say it has 10 lbs. on the biggest salmon I ever landed. Definite trophy, nice going.
It would be interesting to know where it was caught, by the looks of it, it was caught near shore some where.
Wild guess, was it near Tobermorey Canada?
And can I go fishing with him?  Just kidding.

According to his gallery it is from Lake Michigan
Nice pig, I just wish I could break the 20 pound mark.

Even if it isn't 36lbs, it's well over 20. Very nice fish.

I bet it was taken in Northern part of Lake MI. Guys have been getting 30's since spring. I believe it. Sounds about right to me. That fish would have been 40 come fall.

Awesome fish.
That don't look like any Michigan port I've been to...
I'll bet Lake O.

Here is a 33.54 lbs king caught in the Great Ontario Salmon Derby out of Lake Ontario simply for camparison:
Weather it is 36 lbs or not- still a great fish

Let’s say his middle finger is 4” long.
By the looks of the pic I would say that fish is 12” from the belly to the back.
If we add 4” for thickness…
We could hypothetically say the following…
12” + 12” + 4” = 28” ~Girth
39” = ~Length
((28 * 28) * 39) / 800 = an estimated 38.2 pounds
Certainly not exact, but a good estimate?
