SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Fishermen are updating their tall tales and looking far south of the chilly salmon streams of Alaska for their next destination.The California Department of Fish and Game biologists were stopped in their tracks while conducting a salmon survey when they encountered what may be the biggest Chinook Salmon ever found in the state, DFG officials said.The salmon, which measured 51-inches long, was found dead from natural causes in lower Battle Creek near Red Bluff, Calif., last month, officials said in a news release issued Wednesday, reported TV station KSBW.The length of the fish would have beaten the current state angling record for Chinook Salmon, officials said.DFG biologist Doug Killam said that the fish could have weighed more than the 88-pound salmon caught in the Sacramento River, which is the largest recorded Chinook Salmon in California.The biggest Chinook Salmon ever caught was 126 pounds and was caught in Petersburg, Alaska.Most of the salmon biologists weighed were between 20 and 30 pounds.
