Up the Nass River, North of Prince Rupurt, (paddle in hand) I caught a 45 lb Chinook Salmon on the line.
45 lbs is heavy. 45 lbs accelerating and decelerating exaggerates the force exponentially, especially when the connection between the top and bottom part of my fishing rod started to crack.
If you ever want to feel 1.5 hours of intense physical mental focus, this is the way to do it.
