That was about a 34lb white Chinook, largest weighed in that month at Port Renfrew marina. It was the first time I'd fished the area, sadly it was the only fish of the day for us.

It was also the first white fleshed Chinook I'd caught, since then I've had a few more and a couple of "marbled", blotchly red and white meat...didn't even know there was such a thing until I caught and killed one.

I now know know that white Chinook are quite common from both the Harrison and Squamish rivers in BC. Not sure where the marbled are native to.
