American River King Salmon - revived & released unharmed

American River King Salmon - revived & released unharmed

While fishing for Steelhead after work today… This beauty took my lure. We are not allowed to keep Salmon this year so I chased this one down river in an effort to bring it in as fast as I could, revive it, and it was released unharmed… But sure makes for an awesome fight on 8lb test line.

The photos: It just so happens a photographer was taking pictures of the river at sunset and caught me running down the shore after the fish, and the following pics. I talked with her after, gave her my card and hoped she would send them to me… She did.

The photos capture the moment perfectly…

Thank you!
