yep! You´re right! Alaska - Kodiak Island - was the place... actually on Karluk River, where I also caught a LOT og red salmon on very light tackle and spoons.
You´re right about the freight-train-thing... Typically when hooked, the kings would take one or two rounds, trying to shake out the hook - and then go downstream i a hurry. Can you imagine a 200 lbs guy with a 14 feet flyrod in a held in stretched arms vertically over the head sprinting 500 yards in rough terrain following the salmon downstream while salmon gains a 150 yards backing.... and THEN having to fight the salmon...
The best day I caught 13 kings over 22 lbs... I lost 12 lbs on 14 days fishing on the river... [

.....nu også ejer af en 9,3x62 :-)
