Nine of the ten record setting King (Chinook) Salmon were caught in Alaskas Kenai River. The average size of Kings in Alaska is 20 pounds, but typically the Kenai yields 50-pound Kings. King Salmon spend 2 to 5 years in the ocean before they come back to spawn. Thus, the size of these fish can vary quite a bit. The largest King caught on the Kenai weighed 97.25 pounds.
What makes the Kenai such a popular spot for fishing fanatics? There are certainly other rivers in Alaska that host greater numbers of salmon. (This isnt to say that the number of salmon in the river is small. Theres plenty to go around for all wanting to have a great day, week, or month fishing.)
This river draws fishermen for three primary reasonssize of the Kings, abundance of varieties of salmon, and the number of runs for each type. Along with the King, the Kenai is stocked with Sockeye (Red) Salmon and Coho (Silver) Salmon, with each of the species having two runs between May and October. And then theres the size of the Kings. If you want the best chance of landing a trophy Chinook Salmon, the Kenai River is the place to be.
