PDG Ron Neukomm thought he had hooked the bottom of the ocean for a few minutes until this 40 pound Spring Salmon, aka Chinook Salmon, started to move. 

Then Ron had a hand full or should I say a Rod full.  Fishing Guide Jack Clifton of Arbitrator Fishing Charters showed his guiding skill by coaching Ron with the fish, netting the fish and keeping the boat off the rocks, all in the same process.

Do you think Ron looks like a Happy Hooker?  Maybe a little tired also, as the fish put up a noble battle and almost won a few times. 

Congratulations Ron on a bigger than normal Charter fish.  

What are you going to catch next time though?
