Wish I could Red ... also landed a 45 Lb King Salmon on 8 lb test. Had a 9ft rod and my Ambassadeur 6500c ... took awhile, but mighty tasty.
TTH your right about the start always soft on the green this will always assure a good start!! Stomping the pedal will result in lost time and we both know this is a no no in drag competion!

Sounds like you were in Puget sound the salmon Capitol of the world!! :wink:
Hey Red ... I don't use ultralight to be sporting. In gin-clear waters most of the big boys spook with any line over 4lb test. The King hit when I was set up for the smaller Sockeye Salmon. My point is that if you know what you're doing and have patience, you don't need to match the line to the fish.
I personaly like the salmon smoked with alder wood. The best eating fish is Walleye or crappie, maybe even sea trout or as it's known here weak fish. :wink:

Nope ... have fished for Salmon off the Oregon and Washington coasts, but that one was on the Little Susitna River ... about 100 miles north of Anchorage, AK.

The biggest fish that I ever caught was a Laker In Lake Ontario. 33 lbs.
and 160 ft. down It never had a chance to fight, it came up and then it floted across the top of the water.
