World Record for Chinook Salmon
Washington State man sets new 6-pound test line class world record for Chinook salmon
John L. Beath, noted outdoor writer and photographer, broke a world record August 18, when he caught a 51.25/lb Chinook salmon using six-pound test line. The catch was no accident, as Beath began his quest to beat the current six-pound line class record for Chinook salmon in 2002.
“I fished for 30 days in August of ’2002 and ’03 and caught dozens of Chinook between 30 and 48 ½ pounds. This year I only fished with light line three times before making the record catch I was hoping for,” explained Beath.

Secret Lives of Lingcod
Our jumbo-sized white curly tailed worm lay motionless with a big hook sticking out of its side. Flat ocean seas combined with sunny skies gave us a perfect, can’t miss picture of the ocean sixty feet beneath our boat. As we watched and waited patiently for one of the curious 10-plus pound lingcods to bite the tail instead of just stare at it and swim by, we developed a quick but accurate assessment – lingcod do not like dead baitAt first glance, the lingcod, whose Latin name, Ophiodon elongates means long toothed snake, looks so ugly only its mother could love it. In reality though, its mother would eat it without giving it a second thought and have a toothy, I’m-still-hungry-grin afterwards. Lingcod may be ugly, even grotesque in appearance and attitude, but they are one of the finest eating fish in the world – and they will bite a variety of baits and lures if you know how to trigger the lingcod into a feeding frenzy.
Halibut Tips & Tricks
All along the Pacific Coast, from Oregon to the extreme reaches of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, the Continental Shelf pulses with halibut like blood in a vein. This main artery of the Pacific Ocean provides opportunity for halibut to gorge themselves on easy meals. It also provides sport for anglers who want to test strength and wits against these bottom denizens.Hooking one of these flat-fighters can be as easy as locating a shelf or bank or as tough as looking for the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The most sure-fire way to score and score "butt" good is to follow the "main artery" north to British Columbia or Alaska, where the heart of halibut fishing brings anglers from around the world.
