During a survey of Chinook Salmon in Battle Creek in California, Fisheries biologist Doug Killam came across a monster Chinook that when it was alive, probably weighed in at over 90#!

"I have counted tens of thousands of salmon during my career and this is the biggest I have ever seen", said Doug Killam DFG Associate Fisheries Biologist.
