Anyone been to Swiftsure recently?
a coho with a black gumline...interesting!!
Congrats! The Tyee of cohos.Some nice fish starting to show up inside the Sound. Got a 20 lbs Coho at Swale yesterday (Thursday). On top of 17 lbs and 14 lbs Springs. Then it was catch and release for Springs (3) ... Lots of fun for a lone fisherman View attachment 39499 View attachment 39500
I knew there was going to be skepticism on that fish... This is a pic inside the mouth... Not perfect pic, but the best I could do under the circumstances... Look carefully, white gum, no teeth on upper lip... Was also verified by a few guys up there, and the verdict was unanimous, it is a coho ... I have it home if you want to check it out by yourself, Thomas ahahah ( I'm just kidding) ...a coho with a black gumline...interesting!!

A couple years ago while fishing in Trevor Channel we boxed a couple springs, recorded them on our license... then on closer inspection and consultation we realized the same as you. We had some really big coho. I think they were around the 17# mark.I knew there was going to be skepticism on that fish...
Thanks fishspoon for your support... Appreciate itI see a few black spots on fish s tail. not many spots on the whole tail. It s a coho. congratulations!
