Left the harbor in the fog and headed for north of the state line. Was greeted with slightly larger than expected waves.. still very doable so we made our way to around 71fow. Set up a 9 rod spread with a mix of spoons and dodger flies. Started getting fish before the spread was out. It was soon apparent the d/f was going to dominate the morning. Had maybe 2 spoons out by the end of the morning. Several fly combinations on red or clown dodgers both 0 and 00 from 5 color to the bottom all caught fish.

The majority of the catch was big healthy cohos. One big king going just shy of 20#. We released 4 Lakers at the back of the boat. Surface temp was in the low 50s and they swam down with ease.. also had to release a coho while picking up lines.

Then there was this catch. It was 13#. Had several characteristics of being a king coho hybrid.
Coho: it had that coho "face" to it. Big eye, white upper jaw, more of a triangular anal fin(which was larger than the 20# kings anal fin- see pic) had very nice looking red meat.
King: heavily spotted along the back. The tail had the darker silver color with spots top to bottom. The dark silver in the head. Basically the color and pattern screamed king.
What do you guys think?

bottom finish is the one in question with king above.

I think their both just Kings based on Anal Rays and spots on upper back and top of Tail. Wild Kings as well. Nice Catch!

Nice fish - I am not going to guess on the Coho/King hybrid; don't have enough experience but some big fish coming in on the new boat!

Could the mystery fish be an Atlantic? Has a few of their traits looks like.
