Andrew Harris

With a 30lb king salmon (Chinook) that he released after an hour of battle. The catch happened on the Rio Petrohue, 30th March 2006. Andrew was using a 6 weight rod, modified Hardy reel, 6lb tippett, and wool headed sculpin no. 6 barbless hooks. Andrew was very suprised to find this fish, because most fish in the area were rainbows of 9-14 inches in length.
