Eight (8) of Dr. Kloke’s World Records were caught on spinning rod, and three (3) were caught on fly rod.  All the World Records were caught self-guided on several different rivers on Kodiak Island, Alaska;  the Kenai River in South Central Alaska; Big Creek in King Salmon, Alaska; the Kvichak River in Bristol Bay, Alaska; and the very remote, float plane accessible only Featherly Creek, Alaska – where the bears outnumber the people!

A few of Dr. Kloke’s most prized records include a 9 lb Coho (Silver) Salmon on 4# line and a 10 lb Coho on 6# line – both still stand as records since 2015 and 2016 respectively.

And the “one that got away” included a day in Key West trying to set a World Record for Yellow Tail Snapper on 2 lb test.  The fish were there, all 5-6 lbs each.  But after Dr. Kloke and her gang broke off 30 in a row on hair-thin line, they decided it was meant for another day!
