Thanks, just lucky, though I did pick up two balls and an old dock tire full of styrofoam on the way out there.  Could it be fish karma?

They make sense if you think it through.  The Chinook, is the King of the salmon as they get the largest; Coho, well, they are just bright and silvery I guess; Sockeye turn red when in the rivers hence the name Red; Pinks are tasty and pink meated in the salt but get all Humpy and gray when they hit the rivers (you will never hear me call one from the salt a humpy); and Chum are only good enough for Dog food (I like them smoked), hence the name Dog salmon, could also be because their jaw starts looking like a dog's mouth, but others do too.  Blackmouth are resident Chinook, different from the ones that head out to the open ocean.  Tyees, well, just huge Chinook I guess, no idea where that comes from but someone will know.
