Keith Reinke is one of the best salmon anglers around and a Waitaki River stalwart. Here Keith has landed a hefty 35 pounder together with a 15 pound fish.
In this picture you can really see the difference in size. A fish of over double the weight is not so much longer but is rather much broader and heavier in the body.
Very few New Zealand anglers will ever catch a salmon weighing anything like 35 pounds. To catch such a fish you need considerable knowledge and skill combined with a certain element of luck!
