Overview

There are just as many fish now, or even more (a result of good management and favorable ocean conditions), so these too will be “the good old days”. Andrew loves to fish, loves to see someone land their first salmon or their hundredth, and loves to be on the water, building friendships with clients.

For many years, Andrew has believed a truly large King Salmon would be put to rest on his boat. It is a feeling a lot of fisherman may have had, but Andrew believes it just a little more and hopes you will be a part of this experience.

Kings in the 120 pound class have entered the Columbia for thousands of years and King Me Fishing is optimistic some still remain. These fish were headed into the heart of Canada though the Columbia River. (The Columbia drains approximately one third of the geography of Canada according to “Cataclysm on the Columbia”.) In 1933, the government began building Grand Coulee Dam in Washington State, forgetting to put a fish ladder on it! Most fish heading above the dam probably died off, but salmon are known for going up non-native streams on occasion and possibly a few of these hogs did too.

Andrew and King Me Fishing have heard from fish counters at Bonneville Dam that fish in the 80-90+ pound class cross every year. So for all you Oregon and Washington folks, know there’s a chance to bring the record home.

The Kenai is your best bet to land the new World Record King. Fish that could break the world record are caught every year outside of the Kenai River by commercial fisherman. In the summer of 2004 a 123 pound King was caught by a drift netter just south of the river’s mouth. These giant fish are very hard to land on rod and reel, but with a little luck it can be done. As King Me Fishing heads into the 2008 summer, their sixth year on the Kenai, Andrew says, “THIS IS THE YEAR!” Of course, Andrew says that every year.
