Need help identify this fish
« on: June 08, 2024, 05:40:29 PM »
My first thought was that it’s a sea run cutty but then after looking at the photo some more I’m just not sure. The white tip on the anal fin has me second guessing.  Usually I’m pretty good at identifying trout. What say you all?

Sorry should have provided more info. This was caught late November in the North River unit 30 mins south of Aberdeen. There were also some coho in the same water that were spawned out.

Thought the same thing, would’ve helped seeing the mouth. Heads not quite pointed enough either.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

With only that picture to go on, I’m saying jack king.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

You guys are spot on! That’s what’s great about this forum.  I wasn’t even thinking it could be a Jack. Thanks for the help, now we know.

Jack coho for sure
Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.
