Nice Job Hoe. Strange that you should mention the fins. Several big Salmon we caught this year over 6#
as well as a few big Bows exhibted the same thing. Those big Dorsal fins look monsterous on a big fish when that's all you see prior to netting. Quite a thrill I agree.
Can't wait to get anither one like that before it's over. But looking doubtfull last few trips out, still plenty of time however.
wow that is almost the exact same spot I broke off a monster on Sunday morning....did she have a white perch fly in her mouth? lol...just kidding - great catch
