Those lists sound like a day that your arms would be begging for mercy!
Doesn't count for IGFA as far as I know, but danged if we didn't have fun doing it...
When my Grandfather and I were last in Alaska, we both hit what the lodge there referred to as their Grand Slam.
We each landed a King, Pink, Sockeye, Coho & Chum salmon, all in the same day.

Question:
on the GSPPier what will landing a hardhead catfish, a pinfish and a stingray all in the same day get you?
Answer:
Laughed at! :-) LOL
For many, many years my bucket list has been to land a bonefish, permit & snook all in the same day on UL spin.
oh, and throw in a 'flag' yellowtail snapper for supper! ;-)Haywire and rodbuilderESM like this.(RETIRED) mostly.

I saw one yesterday but it was closed mouth. Would not eat anything thrown. I personally know of 3 that have been caught in the last two weeks. No kings yet.
