WOW. That legit could be a 50lb fish by Fall. A fish that large could easily gain another 5-10 lbs over the Summer. Don’t think I’ve ever heard of a King that big in June.

The DEC was effective in cutting back on stocking Chinooks along with natural reproduction numbers. The secret is in the forage base availability.

Probably the fish was a six year old chinook that could have been determined.

A 120 pound chinook was taken from a fish trap near Tree Point, Ak at the turn of the last century.

It is in pounds not metric measurements

A kilogram is 2.2 lbs So if it was 42 kilos it would be a real monster

Since there was only one small salmon derby on the Lake last year due to shutdowns etc.  Maybe enough 3 or 4 year old fish were able to live another year rather than being taken out of the lake for a derby???  Who knows.

 

There was a 38.6 lb fish caught the day before the derby (not eligible) plus others in the high 30's all in June!!!!  The lake record of 45 lbs is not too far off those fish!

I just wonder, do they spawn and die when they reach 2 years old? If so, these extra large fish certainly couldn't get that big in two years. So do some fish not spawn????

Most spawn at age 3, some at 2 and some at 4, and some small males at 1.  I don’t think they live past age 4 in L.O.  Your 4 year olds are going to be the 30 plus pound fish most likely.  All die after spawning.

Most dead salmon feed the new hatch as the mountain streams are low in nutrients. On the Kenai/Russian River streams, wasted carcasses are required to be placed back in the streams as feed for the next hatch of eggs.
