They might put on more weight, but that is prolly closer to the upper end of length. (~30 inches)
my biggest salmon was 6lbs out of wachusett and was 26in it was a tank though big spawning male with a 1.5in kipe on it. the state record i heard was around 30in. i have seen some big ones pushing 28in in the tribs.
Any idea how the lines were opening day? I'm debating trying to get up there for a rental boat but last time around this year I went and all the boats were rented out. I was there pretty early so if it requires getting there at 3am to wait I'll fish elsewhere.
Had a GREAT morning with my dad. Fished for 3hrs and we ended with 3 lakers and a 27in Salmon! Video will be up shortly.
