Glen, That is a Beauty for sure. It looks like it has been fed well. Do you have any idea how old a 30 “ Salmon would be?

Glen, 2x trophy salmon in one year, quite the accomplishment!

somewhere in between 6 and 10 years old I believe, maybe older? saltyshores (on this forum) would know (they grow much faster than lake trout/don't live as long as lake trout).

I've talked to the biologist quite a bit about that, with a healthy smelt population the salmon in Sebago have a life span of 5-8 years, as everyone knows the smelt are gone so I'm very anxious to talk to them about this one.

It's been a pretty special season for sure, got a 23 pound laker back in the spring as well a few 15 -18 pounders...all I can think is my old friend Bob Dunham, (Thresher),is upstairs looking after me, I'm not doing anything special to catch them other than spending so much time on the water.

Great fish!

I pulled one out of the Penobscot Saturday fishing for bass, looked about 21-23". Thin as a rail and looked like she was all spawned out already.

Stguy,

How much did the last one weight? Sorry can't remember. Was it bigger or smaller?

Years ago when I mounted game heads vs. just fish, which I do now, I don't know how many times someone would say, "Well this is the last deer I'm going to mount. This is getting too expensive." Then I'd see them next year with a bigger one and then said they couldn't pass up mount that one. :rotflol:

The ones that really tickled me were the kids that got a monster buck on their first day of deer hunting and had no idea there was a 99.9999 percent change they'd get never another one that big.

What a fish!!!  That is so cool to see.  You wonder 'how big do they get?' and then to see a true trophy, that is amazing.
It is understood that fishing licenses, gas, bait, etc., all cost money, but try not to let a limit of trout be your only gauge for success. – Ben Nugent, (NH F&G) Regional Fisheries Biologist

The first one was 7 pounds
