50 pounder atlantic salmon! The giant salmon of Gaula.

This majestic giant of a fish was never lifted out of the water for a picture pose. Because this giant was in such a top condition when landed, we roughly used only ten minutes before it kicked impatiently and was released.
What made this moment really special was the team effort and the sharing of the experience with my fishing team. Stig Ørneberg got it all on film and cleared the riverbed for branches when I at several times had to back up from the river. Martin Herheim kept the cool and handled the net brilliantly, and Simen Aas was in charge of bringing in the media😊

Two great things, firstly the catch of a lifetime and second fantastic news that we still have great salmon in at least some rivers still.

THE GIANT "LEEPER" - what an amazing fish!

Catching a 50lb salmon from shore with a fly rod is fishing history, to bad you think it is boring.
-
Wow, seriously wow. Extremely well played. And with the river in flood, was make ot or break it. What tippet diameter and brand did you use and what kind of hook that allows you to pull so hard without the fear of breaking the fish off? Congratulations, a dream catch 👍
-
You played that fish perfectly, your a patient man i would have lost it
-
Well done, mate. It would be great if you could list all of your tackle and bait that you used. 👍👍

Tu aurais dû te déplacer en descendant la rivière et mettre le poisson vers l amont de la rivière .comme ca le courant d eau agira en ta faveur et contre le poisson qui se fatiguera beaucoup plus vite..

An awsome fish and great landing. U have great knowledge of both handling and setting the fish back. Don't understand why there are always people bashing and screaming wolf when there isn't any wolf. So again huge congrats a dream fish. Hope to come.close to that one day also. And u also earned a sub from me.

Congratulations of catching a fine fish with the expertise you showed. Did you have problems picking up the cutlery at dinner?
