Salmon shark?

[Shepnoir]

Sent off to DFO / CC buddies for a little CSI. Will report back "when" or really "if" known.

FWiW, Orca rake is the consensus.....

No way in hell its from a killer whale,or any other mammal.
Single tooth marks on both sides are a shark of some sort.That fish wasn't moving slow enough for Mud shark attack.....fish was 24lbs,probably a pound of meat missing!

Begs the question......were any killer whales around when you caught it?

Lord give me the strength!!!

Those black and white whales do eat salmon I'm told ....

 

[Bullhead]

Its a squid bite

 

[Canso]

cookie cutter shark bite

 

[Radar88]

what about lampreys? maybe a school of them attacked the salmon at the same time. this or the humbolt squid seems most likely to me. salmon shark bite would not look like that. neither would an orca bite.

It looks like frantic gaffing marks after getting the fish in the prop.
