Matt...as a reference, earlier this year I caught a fish that was 27-1/2" and weighed 8.22. I'm sure yours was just as heavy if not heavier.
Great job dude.

Awesome pic's an video releaseing Matt! I thought you would get a big one before long you earned it.
Do you think that fish was tagged this year if so were you able to get the numbers?

Great job dude.
It was a real solid chunky fish, especially for a male! If yours was 8.22 at 27.5, mine was probably the same if not a bit more at 28. Good stuff!! Can't wait to head back down on my next day off.

Matt,
Have you done the filming for the Outdoors segment you spoke about a few weeks ago yet?
Maybe they can splice from this huge fish photos and your video of the release!
Now that is a Master Angler salmon!
