Salmon @ Augusta

Landed this Salmon in Augusta this week. Caught on 12 Lb Sufix braid, Shimano Sienna 2500, Shimano Barra 662 rod, Smili'n Jacks lure. Put up a good fight on the light gear. He swollowed the hooks deep into the gills so I had to keep him.

I know you only kept it because you had to, but are the salmon good eating?

The lure was brand new that day all the chips are from the bull herring that were constantly hitting it. Salmon is nice if cooked in a mornay or patties.
