- Was this over 100 pound king salmon a world record? Angler Gayle Gordon caught the monster while trolling in River's Inlet, British Columbia but we'll never know for sure if it was a record because she practiced catch and release on the fish (good on her!)

The 105.9 was a buck and also a wild salmon We think he was probably an 8 year old. Extremely rare
That's amazing!
Thank you for your work in broodstock and recognizing the importance of keeping these monster fish in the gene pool.
Thank you for this great realease! 🎣
Thanks for releasing! Need fish like this in the gene pool! Awesome catch guys!
❤️✌🏻
Screw the IFGA. I recognize it as the world record. Great job Gayle.
As a fisherman myself and fishkeeper, I highly respect the gordons decision to release that magnificent beast. Let that amazing line live on, the smaller guys tend to taste better anyway
Agreed! Not a lot of people would have let that fish go.
@@fishwithjd Most people in BC would let a tyee chinook 35+ lbs go.
@@davidadshade2927 idk probably should have just kept it...not a chance that big fish in the video survived after a 45 min fight and probably 2.5-5 mins on the deck getting pics and measurements... A monster tired king like that would be pretty easy prey for a fur bag as well if it didn't die from stress first.
That's so awesome Gayle that you released that fish!
Agreed!!
Good to see the big ones released,usually they are the 1st to be kept.
Hadn’t heard about that one. My dad has fished Rivers since 1989. We trailered the boat from Seattle every year. A 19’ Glasply. His very first fish was 81#’s. The family and many friends have caught fish over 50. 2-63#ers in one day by my brother. This is the first year he didn’t go. Rivers Inlet, Rob and Nola have fond spots in our hearts. Legendary fishing and tons of memories. Congrats on the fish, I hope it made it to the river.
#dawsonslanding Rob & Nola for the win
We were there fishing the Wall August 1 & 2 2020, those guys are the real deal. Thanks for returning him
Thank you
Its so freaking awesome that they release this big mother. The larger the fish, the more eggs they lay, the eggs from big old mothers are larger and more robust. The large fish are very important for the stock.
It is time for a worldwide ban on taking very small and very large fish. That we are only allowed to eat medium sized fish.
I was gonna ask if the fish was a hen or a buck, because from first glance it looked like a hen. But once I seen the mount it made sense that’s definitely a big buck. What a story and I’m so glad they realized how rare and amazing a fish like that is. Way to go for the release. Dream come true for sure, I’ve caught a lot of Big Nor Cal Kings, but I couldn’t imagine how my G-Loomis would bury on a Kwikfish take down on that beast. We can only imagine and dream. Thanks for sharing JD.
Yeah so cool she let the big boy go!!!
2023 fishing trip Top 2 Chinook 69.3 and a 73.79 lb Chinook Super proud🐟
Nice!!
Hay gang i hate to break it to ya that SALMON was not 105lbs i can tell by the look of the fish i am a trained biogist and a taxidermist i only do fish. That was a great fish but im telling you that king was more like 70 to 80 lbs if you were LUCKY ..plus iv have seen the kerunt world record king salmon both 97 and 126 lbs cout in a net..
Agreed, it’s a hog but not 100+
@@SalmoncrazyAdventures Chinook. King is an Alaska America term!! The fish barrel up Rivers Inlet has caught fish well over 100 lbs, but that's also fish laden with spawn.
you're a biologist but can't spell "current" yea bullshit.
@@Tiggitytye that fish isnt over 80lbs i my opinion
I was thinking the same thing! I caught a 105 lb. Bluefin tuna. I'm 6'2" the tuna was almost as long as I am tall!
Huge respect for letting this king go🙏🏼
@@vinogradfishing agreed!
What a monster. Very cool that they let her go. Definitely want her genes to remain in the river.
Wow, great story and great video. Ha-Ha, those BC salmon moochers do love their Islander "knucklebuster" reels! Thanks for posting this.
Yeah but a 5" Peetz can't be beat. Loaded with 60lb. Dacron and 45' 60lb. Ande. The King of buckle dusters. Of course on a mooching rod.
😃💙🤙🎣🐟 👏 Thank you for sharing your amazing experience and releasing your catch to continue the monster king gene pool👍👍
Agreed!
Great video and fantastic fishing team with so many years and stories that go with the sport that you two have experienced
It don't get any better than that. I also let the big ones go. Can't beat that feeling. Congratulations 🎉
caught a 51lber this summer in comox, took me 45 mins to reel in.. this is just nuts. Awesome fish and congrats!!!
my knuckles were dripping blood too, cant imagine yalls after this one!
Don't sell yourself short! a 51 is an amazing fish!!!
Wonderful all-around experience. Thank you for sharing.
You guys are truly a credit to the sport!
👍👍 I hope God continues to bless your lives
Glad to see a trophy fish actually swim away and not end up on some bds wall or die from mishandling. Good on these folks for catch, photo, release.
Still a pretty good chance it ended up dead, that's a long fight for a big fish like that that's already been using a ton of energy migrating inland
such a great fish, way to go Gayle!
And here I thought my 53 pounder was big!
Congratulations you guys!!!
Yeah blows my PB WAAAAAAAAAAAAY outta the water.
Chinook up into Rivers' Inlet that have been caught/weighed in the spawning barrel have been larger. This run is known for huge fish. My trip in 1992, somewhat early in the run, the average weight caught exceeded 55 lbs. easy.
So awesome!
JD wrote the official story about the 105.9 for the Salmon Trout Steelheader magazine On their website too Thank you JD
Yea, fingers in the gills, taken onboard after that long a fight… that fish didn’t live and spawn. Don’t kid yourself.
Dam that is a huge salmon
I didn't catch it. Gayle caught it on a cut plug herring.
We need the June Hogs back, WITHOUT a hatchery 😢
That would be nice
Hello Teddy Walkus from the guys @ Stillwater Sports Ladner
I didn't know there was a road into Dawsons landing. Video says thet trailered their boat there from Duncan BC ?
Yes but I guess there are some ferry rides in there along the way too...
Good for you guys, I always say those are the fish you should want to spawn!! Great job
They likely railered their boat to Port Hardy, not Dawsons Landing. Boat, floatplane or chopper only....no roads to there..
What dreams are made of - to think that this size of Salmon was Common ounce upon a time in the west .... Way to go dear !
What's up with the photo with everyone holding spawning fish out the water?
Incredible, makes me believe the story I heard about the 86lbs king coming back to my local hatchery.
WOW how long ago was that?
Well done folks, very, very cool. The mulie, goat and whitetail at the end are truly something too. Thanks for sharing.
I dunno I've caught a lot of salmon both in the ocean and freshwater, bringing them aboard for even a few minutes is a death sentence.
I could only think that after a 45 minute fight and being out of the water enough to measure it, it probably did not survive.
We watched it swim away. C&R is very common in the special management area at rivers inlet. It’s so nice to see
Awesome. Great job
Absolutely amazing to catch one of these fish. I habe been lucky enough in whale channel to catch a 30 lbs salmon. Which I thought was big. Soooo a size that you all have got to see and release...WOW!!
The IGFA does, I think, have catch and release categories now, but certain rules have to be followed.
My Oh My !
All those big kings should be released. Was it a wild fish or hatchery fish. God bless people like you
What an amazing fish. Other rivers that are doing broodstock programs are getting really big fish as well. This is the first I have seen a program for Chinook. Going down a rabbit hole now.
Good luck and don't forget to come back up for air! :)
why were your fingers inside the gills?
Great story.
Awesome video JD Thank you
Omgosh.
Fantastic.
Is that from Native brood? Regardless amazing!!!
A real possibility it is!
She LOVES to go salmon fishing every year......she catches a 100+ pound salmon.....then lets it go.....the ultimate woman, basically!
Wow what a fish... 40lbs is the biggest I've ever caught and that was a fight..
Hell of a salmon 👍
No doubt! Especially in this day and age
Well done great fish and kudos for releasing him back !
Agreed
Great job releasing it so it can lay its eggs. Good genetics right there. IGFA is getting less important each day. Today C&R is more popular. Measure and release. Inches not pounds!
Horrible job on the release
Note his hand

@@swedenoble6083 so you commented to show off? You just come off sounding like an elitist. You're saying it's never okay to bring a fish in a boat? Besides even in the photo where his hand is on the gill plate the belly is being supported by two hands. His right hand and the woman's left. You cant judge without more photos or video. Grabbing a trout or salmon by the gill plate, if done with care, isnt a death sentence. In some cases a fish may die but most of us do as mush as possible to prevent damage doing things like wetting my hands before handling a fish but without a video I cannot say whether he handled this fish well or not 🤷♂️

Wow that hatchery needs to give the others a lesson!
Right???
HUGE FISH! Probably around an 80lb though if I had to bet my lunch on it. Tight lines!
Yeah I wasn't there to witness it either. All I know is it's a BEAST!
You should check out the Percy Walkus Hatchery
The chinook that return to the Wannock river are some of biggest on the planet
So very proud of the Sports caught C&R World Record
Chinook 105.9 💜 We have also C&R 2 Chinook over 80 lbs at Rivers Inlet
Having a replica of the 85 done. Will share pics of the 105.9 and the 85 together this fall. 👍
yeah, definitely not over 90
these two are ol renfrew,nit nat moochers,they deserve this after all the rain n rods rebated and the swells,oh the swells.that fish to me took 30 yrs or so each,and 45 minutes,so cool,cheers from the bar.
Great job keeping it away from the Chinese/ Japanese fleets fishing illegally nearby! Great catch, great release, gorgeous mount!
So very proud 💜of the 105.9. Special thanks to Advanced Taxidermy, JD Richey, Salmon Trout Steelheader Magazine, BC Outdoors, Bob McNally, Rob and Nola Bachen and Island Outfitters
After the music started I was done watching
Hahah sorry I didn't have some crappy electronic crap in there for ya instead.
the other animals seen in the background haven't been so lucky XD
Why net it?
Yeah Good point
Although you don’t see it going in to a landing net there’s is only two ways a fish that says gets dragged over the rail. In a net or by the gills. Either way does not bode well for survival. If your intent is to release it, then don’t take it out of the water. Period.
i caught one that was 111.3 lbs
Pic?
No pic for u. U didn't say please
As others have posted here, that was no way 105 lbs, I live here in Alaska where the current sport caught king world record is from, the Kenai River, 97 lbs, I have caught many from this famous river, that king is huge yet not near 100! By the way, the largest ever caught was commercial by a fish trap in southeast Alaska near Petersburg Ak, weighed 126 lbs! Look that up.
I've actually seen the mount of that 126...very impressive.
Anyone know the estimated age?
Question is, did this fish survive being netted, thrashed around a boat, and hoisted with hands in gills, all for for a photo?
Anybody hear about the freak King caught in Terrace area? (Skeena)
That's was a dead fish for sure. 45 minute fight and then man handled into the boat and held up for photos. Don't kid yourself. Should never have been lifted out of the water
But remember what the environmentalists want you to think.
Hatchery salmon are inferior…
Hatchery and wild fish coexist
Exactly!!!
What makes you think that's a hatchery fish? The hatchery clips zero fish. That fish means nothing to whether hatchery and wild can coexist. They have no idea, as far as I know, what the return of hatchery broodstock is.
@@roynichols5212 I’ll double down. I miss spoke.
Hatchery and wild fish are exactly the same. As all wild fish are likely descendants of hatchery fish or are just unclipped hatchery fish.
Regardless hatchery salmon = wild salmon
They are the same.
@@cashotpb Really, you should do some research before you make comments like that. If hatchery and wild can coexist why is it when they get brood stock for say steelhead they always use wild fish for broodstock? Just saying.
@@roynichols5212 you understand that’s mostly in an effort to diversify genetics right? If you continue to pass on a hatchery origin fish you could potentially run into interbreeding issues.
So they try to pick out the most healthy wild fish in an effort to combat that problem.
Has nothing to do with the majority of the population. This is solely a breeding tactic.
You obviously are one of those jaded environmentalist types that are convinced hatchery fish are inferior.
Well I catch my fair share of both every season and it’s always a toss up what is clipped or unclipped.
Obviously you don’t put your hands on enough salmon to understand this fact.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I like the silver ones
I really wish we wouldn’t refer to them as king salmon. No need to Americanize our fishery.
That's a huge fish.. it doesn't look close to even 100 imo
Couldn’t you weigh the fish in the net with a scale that way you don’t have to kill it or chance it by putting a scale in its gills that way you could get a more exact weight without risking killing it
May be wrong here, but I believe that for the "record books" the fish has to be weighed on land, on an officially certified scale. I value a fisherman or woman who is more interested in returning an exceptional fish unharmed than in gaining a place in the record books. The entire process seems outdated.
did you release it ? damn waste of a good spawner if you didn't
They did
not a 100 lb king
I have a bigger King from 1979 60 1/4" X 38 1/4"
Hope she's pleased with the re-creation advanced taxidermy did of her salmon. They absolutely botched a trout replica I had them do for me. Wouldn't recommend them.
I am an avid outdoors man my self, but don't say it was a selfless act to release this fish, When you could have shot all those animals in the back ground with a camera instead of a gun. i am happy that you chose to do what you did with the fish. But think what you said. I hunt deer with a camera i shoot ducks with my shot gun and eat them. If i want to release i do so. But don't say it's selfless to do so. You chose cpr(catch, photo, release) for the fish but it may have not made it with all the strain you put into it with the battle. So many fish are already exhausted from traveling toward spawning grounds. Either way nice fish and may you catch a bigger one.
FFS, you dont hav eto kill the fish to get the milt and eggs. just run the hand down their bellies and the eggs and milt will come out... and the fish can go back alive...
Yeah, so I’m guessing you don’t know much about salmon life cycle. Do a quick google search on the subject and you’ll understand why your statement sounds so silly.
Unless I just missed your sarcasm.
Yeah that works for steelhead but not Pacific salmon...all of which die after spawning
@@fishwithjd Yeah, that was a stupid remark.
Absolutely not even close to 105. Maybe 50
@@PavelDatsyuk-ui4qv well I wasn’t there and neither were you so it’s hard to say from pix, right?
I think I mightve been drunk typing that. Sorry about that. It definitely could be. I mightve been jealous lol. Ours are small where iam
@@PavelDatsyuk-ui4qv hahah all good. I honestly don’t know either how big it was. I just think it’s cool she let it go!
releasing a 10+ salmon is a good idea, since there are more fish to catch, baking a salmon that big takes talent, I know 65 lbs can be done with a little help from friends w/ plenty beer
👏👏👏👏👏👏
