Have you ever wondered how big Atlantic salmon can get? These fish both weighed between 14 and 16 pounds! It takes several years for salmon to get this big, with adult fish making the trip from Maine to Greenland and back between one and four times. According to historical record, these fish once exceeded 30 pounds.

These fish are under anesthesia for tagging and returned to their tank immediately.

I’ve got a hunch that the Atlantic Salmon Federation in Lubec Canada, could help us here in Maine, with ideas that would help to restore the free swiming Atlantic Salmon here in Maine…

Who wants to follow my journey of discovery?… And perhaps even help out?

Would you?… … Could you?… … Come On!… … … Lets ‘Right’ the next chapter…

Happy Earth Day 🌎

Today, we’re celebrating the rivers that sustain wild Atlantic salmon and the ecosystems that make their journey possible. From clean, cold headwaters to the open ocean, every step of their lifecycle depends on a healthy planet.

Protecting salmon means protecting the waters they call home. Here’s to keeping our rivers strong, connected, and thriving for generations to come 🎣💚
