Scott Collinsworth from Fort Peck Marina Guide Service was stunned, saying, “I’ve never seen anything like it—it barely fit in the net!” That’s how he summed up the massive chinook Kathy Foust from Nebraska reeled in on Wednesday.

This monster fish measured 43 inches in length, had a 23 1/2-inch girth, and weighed a solid 30 pounds! Kathy and her husband, Bob, had two unforgettable days with Scott, with Bob landing 22 and 26-pound salmon just the day before.

Huge congratulations to Kathy, Bob, and Scott—what a catch!
