Nice find Tubber, you got me on that one, I've never heard of the Cherry Salmon. I've always read there were only five species of Pacific Salmon. Like to see some photo's of one. I wonder if they stray far enough to be caught in Alaska?

They also have a 100+lb salmonid called a taimen. It stays in rivers I think.

masu salmon i think is the cherry salmon but in japan. They are black and orange when they spawn i think?

and that taimen sure is weird to see, thanks tubber
