Title: Need help identify this fish
Post by: jbeaumont21 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?

Thought the same thing, would’ve helped seeing the mouth. Heads not quite pointed enough either.
