Our boat caught one 2 years ago, late fall near the inside entrance to nootka sound. The markings on the gill-plate were really obvious. Looked identical to the first one in your link. It was basically shaker size... maybe 3 or 4 lbs... It was in really nice condition with no net pen markings or frayed fins, etc. I really hope it was an escape and they aren't reproducing.
