Chris Hoag, Captain at Big King Salmon Charters

Welcome to Big King Salmon Charters, proudly voted The Best in the Northwest! We’re a top-rated Seattle fishing charter offering year-round guided trips targeting the five Pacific salmon species — King Salmon, Coho, Pink Salmon, Lingcod, and Bottom Fish. Our home waters stretch across the stunning Puget Sound, where anglers of all levels can enjoy world-class fishing just minutes from Seattle, Edmonds, and Everett, Washington.


At Big King Salmon Charters, we specialize in Salmon and bottom fishing adventures that combine local expertise with the finest gear on the water. Every trip is led by a US Coast Guard licensed captain, fully insured and trained in CPR and First Aid. Safety is our top priority, and every vessel is equipped with all required safety gear, including life jackets, first-aid kits, and emergency supplies, so you can fish with confidence and peace of mind.


You’ll be fishing aboard our 30-foot custom TollyCraft Offshore Ocean Sports Fisher, purpose-built for both offshore and Puget Sound fishing. Our boats feature a fully enclosed, climate-controlled cabin with seating for up to six passengers, tinted windows, and an enclosed bathroom with a real toilet — not a portable setup. There’s a large open fishing deck designed for comfort and catching action, ensuring every trip is both productive and enjoyable.


We use only the best fishing equipment and marine technology available. Each vessel is outfitted with Scotty 2106 high-performance downriggers, Garmin and Raymarine UHD sonar, UHD XD radar, and AIS navigation systems for precision fishing. Shimano rods and reels, premium tackle, and top-quality gear are all included, so all you need to bring is your sense of adventure. Your catch will be cleaned and filleted at the end of the trip — ready for you to take home and enjoy.


Whether you’re chasing your first King Salmon or returning for another unforgettable day on Puget Sound, Big King Salmon Charters delivers the ultimate Seattle fishing experience. We fish where the fish are and make sure every trip is about creating lifelong memories, learning the water, and having fun catching fish. Thank you for choosing Big King Salmon Charters — Seattle’s trusted name for professional, first-class salmon fishing.

October 12, 2025

It was my first time in Seattle, and I wanted to catch salmon—Chris made it happen! We had a gorgeous day and experienced an incredible catch-and-release with wild salmon. Chris is not only extremely knowledgeable but also prioritizes safety and follows regulations to the letter. On top of that, he’s kind, funny, and makes the whole trip a blast. A day on the water with him is truly unbeatable. I’ll definitely be booking again soon for more salmon adventures. The area and the salmon lifecycle are fascinating—an absolute must for anyone who loves fishing!

October 12, 2025

We had an amazing day with Captain Chris and all of us caught our salmon limits! The weather was perfect, the waters calm, and Chris kept the conversation interesting and fun throughout. We took our fresh fillets back to the hotel freezer and are now gearing up for a delicious salmon dinner tonight. Nothing beats a day like this compared to getting skunked or going out to eat! We’ll definitely be back—thanks, Chris!

October 12, 2025

Chris was absolutely amazing! He kept us on the fish the entire time. We even brought food, but we were so busy reeling in fish that we barely had a chance to eat! This was a special generational trip with my father and son, and the three of us had non-stop action from start to finish. Thank you, Chris, for making this the best fishing trip ever. I’ve been on six other guided trips, and this one was by far the best—bar none!

October 12, 2025

I went out with my son along with another group of three, and Chris put us right on the fish! We had 17 bites online and managed to land 9 fish onboard. Chris was incredibly patient and never lost his cool, even with so much activity around us—there were 30 other boats fishing in the area. Somehow, it felt like we were the ones catching the most!

October 12, 2025

We had a girls’ day out, and it was our very first time on a fishing charter. Chris was an amazing captain, patiently explaining everything we needed to know about fishing. We learned so much along the way and reeled in some real fighters! He even cleaned our catch for us. We had an incredible time and can’t wait to go again!

October 12, 2025

Chris provided a smooth and professional fishing experience. He knew the local waters inside and out and shared valuable tips along the way. We landed 4 pink salmon and 1 Coho—an amazing day! Highly recommend booking with Chris.
