Holy cow! Look at the girth on that fish! It's thick all the way from the jaws to the vent. Must be lots of good food in there.

I lived in Portland for 2 years, and fished the Columbia quite a few times for Salmon and Walleye. There are some enormous Walleye in there, and the World Record will come from th Columbia. However, it does not compare with Erie for the numbers, and quality of fish. A typical day on the Coulumbia produces 4/5 fish, and usually 15"-17" in length. There is now way the Columbia can produce consistent stringers of 40lb for 5 eyes like Erie does. That being said, I was on a boat where someone caught one that went 17lbs, and heard the stories of 26lb fish caught in Indian nets. It's a great fishery, but I'd take Erie every day of the week, and twice on Sunday!
