Kings of Winter! 22/23

Since we brought the Obsession back from Kodiak in late November the Kings and Crab have been our primary target. Here are some photo highlights of the winter thus far.

This is a photo of the luckiest fisherman I have seen in awhile! At the end of the day, the last line still fishing and no sooner had the words “we are done” left my mouth and then WAMM!! This gentleman hooks a screamer 18lb royal that fought like he was never going to quit. It was nearly 30mins before we got him in the net! GOOD SHOW!

Ash Churchill holding a large winter King Salmon in Eldridge Passage

Ash Churchill with a bruiser King caught on one of the coldest days of December 2022. It was only 8 degrees F when this photo was taken!

This King salmon topped the scales at 24lbs pretty great considering the average is somewhere between 6 and 12lbs for winter kings.

It may have been freezing cold but the fishing was HOT and the kings were freaking toads! 12/10/2022

The Biggest King of the 22/23 winter

Just north of 30lbs this tank fought for a LONG time, over 30 mins and was landed by a 14yr old young man who originally said he would have rather gone snow machining….then he caught this one. GREAT WINTER KING!!!
