In quite an angling achievement at Fort Peck, young Cooper Green has landed a monster 23-pound Chinook salmon, confirming the depth and quality of this fishery highlighted in the initial catch-point report. Fishing the deep-water of the reservoir, Cooper, pictured here in the photo above, proved his skills by bringing this massive 23-pound chinook salmon to the surface.
This remarkable catch further solidifies Fort Peck as a premier destination for trophy trout and salmon. With this trophy officially checked off his bucket list, Cooper’s multi-species conquest on these waters is complete, setting an incredibly high bar for young anglers across the Big Sky State.
