Maybe some frankenfish escaped and bred with wild chinook. Very scary thought! This reminds me of the engineered giant farmed salmon with the knocked out gene that regulates growth.

I never would've expected a salmon to get that big. And don't you think that counting fish would be the dullest job ever...my uncle did it for a while and loved it so I guess you have to be a real outdoorsy type to handle it woah! I never would’ve expected a salmon to get that big.

I live in Redding as well -- the city just north of where this fish was found. It was reported in the local paper here: http://www.redding.com/news/2008/nov/04/07/ An aside: It's nice to know other Redding-ites have an interest in the strange and unusual, Amberae.

I am from Redding! I have seen this fish, and after I saw the fish, the officer picked it up, and they posted the article in the Record Searchlight. Not EVERYTHING is photoshopped people. sorry, that's been building up for like a week and a half now.

It's even near the Sacramento River. Chino, however, is in Southern California, nowhere near Salmon spawning areas. Something about the eye-socket looks...suspicious.
