Me and the wife got to the spot around noon third cast I got a king but it was a wild fish so we had to let it go we caught 4 pinks kept 3 bright ones for the smoker but one had a big net or seal mark so we put it back. We fished about 3 hours not as hot as it has been but still fun. PS the king got some mud on him I should have washed him off better but was too excited at the time. ><}}}}}'> tight lines

I was not sure at first buy the spots on the back were big and the inside of his mouth was black but he fought like the devil I could not move him. Good luck Tommy

The state department regrets to inform you that you released a silver and not a king. The green back, hooked nose, and white gumline is a dead giveaway.

Nice Coho Tracker! A King usually from my understanding, has quite a few more spots on the tail, and characteristics that tonymiller said.. Too bad you let him go!

Lookin forward to another report! Tightlines!

OOPS!!! well I hope he enjoys spawning then. I kept going back and forth on that fish just wasnt posative at the time at least I got the pic now we have to settle for eating smoked pinks.

oh man that was a silver, a fresh coho, if there is any white on the gum line it is a coho, the kings are solid black with no white

Thats a beauty! I can see why it was confusing. Oh well, hopefully it will survive and pass on its good genes. Thanks for the report.
