Jake Thurnau, 14, holds the 33-pound, chinook salmon that he caught 3 miles north of the Salmon River on Lake Ontario. Pictured with Jake is his proud father, Carl.

Joe Hammond, of Pulaski, was also on the boat. He wrote me: "The two were visiting from Burnt Hills, New York in mid-September. They were fishing on a charter boat, "Good Times" Sport Fishing owned by Chaptain George Haskings.

"The fishing Mate was Charter Captain Nick Licknee and observed by Charter Captain Nate Hammond.

"What a wonderful experience! I have never seen a fish this large caught in person."

Nice fish and all but 33lbs is far from huge I catch 30 plus pound fish all the time I've caught a few 40 this year alone and that's no lie.
