The Carroll party celebrates Barton Kilgore (second from the left) and his 52 lb. King! Caught 6/21/09.

Excitement quickly spread throughout the Resort as word got out about Waterfall’s first of the season 50+ pound King! Caught by Barton Kilgore, Longview, WA, the King weighed 52 pounds. Barton was fishing on Boat 6 with Guide Tripp Hanna at the fishing spot “Fortaleza.” The previous day, Tripp had been fishing “Fortaleza” and told some guides that he had seen a large King swimming around the boat, but couldn’t get it to bite, so he went back on the next day’s afternoon trip and found what he was looking for. A few days prior, a 40 pounder had been taken from the same spot.
