Kasilof King 2005

Kasilof King Salmon

Ken Kraft caught the big fish of the year for Kenai Outfitters on the Kasilof River. The fish was hooked at the high banks fishing hole and was landed about a mile and a half down river at Coho Cove. This huge king salmon was a true monster weighing 55 lbs. Ken's battle began with this king salmon peeling off over 100 yards of line before he could regain any control at all. Ken used all of his fishing skills to battle the lightening fish runs and ferocious head shakes. After what seemed like an eternity of a battle Ken brought this huge king salmon to the net. This big king was Ken's biggest king salmon ever. Ken used a GLoomis fishing rod, Shimano Calcutta fishing reel, Ande Line and a Willie Drift Boat to do battle with the mighty king salmon on Alaska's Kasilof River. Thanks to Lee Young for the photo.
