I've had salmon sharks following a hooked fish up to the boat in Prince William Sound, near Valdez. It's a thrill to watch them materialize out of the depths, isn't it? I guess they prey on the schools of pinks and there are big numbers of them up here that follow the millions of pinks that are swarming toward the shallows.
Some Alaskans fish for these brutes with big gear. They will get up over 300 pounds. I guess you're allowed to catch one a year, if that's what turns you on.
I haven't figured how big a flyrod I'd need, but a 2-foot long salmon pattern fished deep might work.
