I know down on my end the large ones can be "greasy" but I've smoked the big ones and they been fine, actually smoked one about that size in April

nice catch! I have had big browns smoked as well. A bud of mine fishes out of port washington a lot and smoked brown is amazing, seems much milder and easier to eat a ton of  than salmon. Then again he gave it to me while i was icefishing and I was working hard on a good buzz hahaha munchies get ya

Magwa, Superior Browns are incredible. My wife's favorite fish. Even the big ones have a good flavor, so I usually save the smoking for Lake Trout and Chinooks. They don"t feed on Alewives like those in Michigan which causes the greasy flavor. Smelt and Lake Superior Shiners and insects up here are the main food sources.

By the way, just saw this about Columbia River Sockeye, hope they are headed your way.

Yes indeed we will have a decent run of Sockeyes as well but I am waiting for the Fall chinook run it will be around a million fish with some hitting 60 to 70 lbs now this is all on the Columbia where I will camp with my boat for up to 3 or 4 weeks just catching them then it is home for elk season...crap I am tired already... LOL

That is where stuff like this happens......

[Sisco]

Sweet!

Damm that is a big SALMON !! How much does that fish weigh?

[unforgiven]

Outstanding catch brother Mike.

[Magwa]

I think it was 27 or 29 lbs not huge but a really good fish these days...
