“There's a good chance that's a salmon shark.”
For the first 15 minutes, this fish never shook its head once. It just ripped out 100 to 150 feet of line at a time without any kind of headshake or struggle, which lead to the captain mistaking it for a shark. The Dirks group who is familiar with catching big kings, was pleasantly surprised to hook this 36.2 pound king while picking up the daily cohos.
