The nameless dutchman and his Atlantic take the Sept prize.  With two arguably bigger salmon in the October mix, future voting should be interesting.

Oct Slab of the Month Entry: Suldalslågen Atlantic

Again, pictures and email submissions are best left un-edited.

Hi MC,

I'm sending you a few photos I took of my brother catching his (for now) salmon of a lifetime! Estimated to weigh over 30 pounds, this beautiful, ready to spawn, big male Atlantic salmon was carefully released and swam away with full power! Twenty minutes of fighting, fish running mostly upstream, line stuck in the underwater weeds, landed, released, champagne, ended up in some great photos.

Since the release of the fish has become very important to me and my brother we figured out we wanted to learn a little more about photography. So we did, and now I have my brother Christmas gift cleared!

Hope you'll enjoy these photos!

Wild Atlantic salmon found in Salmon River!

Scientists recently discovered wild young Atlantic salmon in New York's Salmon River, according a news release issue by U.S. Geological Survey officials.
