Really great job. That first pic almost looks like a monster coho. Hard to tell in the pics though.


I agree...first thing I thought when I saw the picture...coho...and a darn nice one at that!

TMIK...the more I see it the more I agree. I guess I deferred to a king because I've never caught a coho quite that big. Still need to work on my fish ID apparently.

Those are some nice fish - no matter what species they are. What speed were you trolling if you don't mind sharing? Also for the guy still looking for a King - is there a good way to identify the difference between a big ho and king?

Kings have spots on their whole tail and black gums set in black mouth.

Coho have spots only on their top half of their tail and white gums set in a black mouth.

Easiest ways right there.
