Fished the Douglaston yesterday and did pretty good. Caught 6 kings and 1 brown trout. The brown trout was 28 inches and weighed 11 pounds. Is this considered trophy size. Also the salmon I kept was 42 inches 36 pounds. Is this trophy size.

defiantly on the king...the brown would be a bit above average for LO...at the end of the day though a trophy is whatever you consider it to be ;D

Male or female on the Brown? I'd rather have the hook jaw.........just sayin'! Nice fish on both accounts.........King and or Queen?

Those are both nice fish Killer, Congrats! I have seen browns above 20lbs on occasion, caught one just shy of 22#'s years ago.
Big male, I tossed it back, another guy throws a hook in it's arse, takes it up over the bank to the fish station.
I happened to follow him up, that's how I know what it weighed, guys pleaded with him not to filet it,
he wanted to eat it so they put the knife to it. :sick: :sick:
A 36# king is a great king, one year we won the old ESLO (I think) salmon derby that they held in Pulaski every fall with
a 37# male we caught up by 2A bridge, got a nice travel camper, and other prizes for it. So, even back then a 36 was a great fish!
Again, congrats! :clapping: :clapping:

Congrats on both..
-
Sound like a good time . Both are nice trophies .Till you catch one bigger .

Definitely on the king... The brown as said right around average...Personally I wouldn't have a brown mounted from the fall run unless it was a male and 18+ ... I caught a 20 lb female a couple years ago was a nice fish but just didn't have that big ole kipe....
-
as perch hound said great king ,that is a good one , I have mounted smaller fish due to different reasons color, shape, kipe ,fight etc and tossed much bigger ones back , mounting doesn't have to be all about size ,
-
Yeah it was a female. It was the biggest fish of my life. The hardest part was hiking it from the bottom of DSR all the way to the parking lot. We weighed it at the Fish on cleaning station.
-
well done on your personal best lake run brown FK007
-
Am i missing something, Doesn't the DSR have a Catch and release on all trout species? Either way great king, And a trophy is what it means to you, but yes it is a slight above average Lake o brown, Good job Either way. Yep from there website
Catch and Release Policy
As in the past, official DSR policy is 100% catch and release for ALL trout species and Atlantic salmon.
Our staff will aid anglers with fish ID and proper catch and release techniques.
We hope all experienced DSR fishermen will continue to educate daily anglers with proper species identification.
-
Wasn't jacking thread was just informing people.
-
Yeah the DSR has a no trout kept policy. You used to be able to keep trout. Its probably a good thing that DSR has done this unless you catch a monster and you have to release it.
-
Congrats on your new PB Brown :tipup:
-
Let's see a pic!!! that must've been one fat king, I got one in the dsr last year he was 44" and only went 26#

I said the same thing after I read his 2nd post..... Sounds like someone's telling fish stories ....... ::)
-
I kept the king salmon not the brown trout.
-
The picture is on my iPhone but I dont know how to post it. Sorry if I freaked everyone out by you guys thinking i kept an illegal fish. I kept the 36 pound king salmon. The brown was released. For one thing the DSR river walkers are patrolling. If you got caught with an illegal fish you would probaly never be allowed in the DSR again.

You can send it to your Email and post it from there.....

The one on the left was 30 pounds 39 inches. Mine was 42 inches and 36 pounds. We weighed them on the fish on scales. I'm guessing they had to be both females.

who cares if you kept it or not nice fish , perhaps it will be caught up stream anyway, and it is not an illegal fish, by state law just a dsr rule , and when they started charging we all just went to other places to fish and there are still a few places on the river that aren't crowded , and when and if we get rains to bring the fish to other spots some of us don't even bother with the river , just an old born and raised river fishermen , PS nice king

Illegal.... smmillegal, thats a legal fish!! I stopped fishing down there years ago, got tired of butting heads with those buttheads, guys and one gal who thought they knew how to fish simply because they had a job there, only maybe two that had a clue and they know who they are ;) BUT, if I was down there and caught a PB Trout and wanted to keep it "OVER THE BANK IT GOES", SEE YA!!! I'm with filet, plenty of other places to fish! :bowdown:
Sorry for the rant... Congrats again FishKiller!

Download the photo bucket app... Create an account and you can upload and post it right from your phone... I figured you didn't keep it and misspoke, just breaking cahonas.... Anyway as others said plenty of other places to fish than the DSR, I haven't fished there in probably 15 years maybe less, I just remember it was 10 bucks to get in then it went to 15 and then 25 or so, and well i haven't been back since , you see my point.... That and some of their ridiculous reports....

Yeah, he's staying on the pond all of September, I think he has been down at DSR a couple times, that's all.
Alaska for five weeks took a lot out of him this year, probably his last trip there. Seventy-five and still pounding fish,
God bless him!
I'm sure he'd like to BS with you if your up that way, I need to get up that way and visit him as well, this J-O-B thing has to go!! ;)
-
perch-hound does he have the same number as last year ?

Freddie, sent you a PM.
