I released this one. When they turn to this state they are not good eating, but when fresh and chrome they are good eating!

I saw in your other thread you mentioned going to Canada. Is that a Canadian fish or did you get that around here? I'm not looking for your secret honey hole, just wondering if there are pinks that big in our rivers.

World record humpy from the Skykomish. I personally think the record gets broken every humpy season, but it gets thrown back cause people don't want to even touch em

I'm not trying to start an argument but isn't that photo illegal? I know it's just a gorbuscha but still. Everyone I've released has stayed in the water. Same with all Salmonids.

That still does not make it legal. Tell that to the Warden and see what he says.

I don't really care at all. I'm just pointing out that it isn't legal. I'm sure that fish swam away fine.

Where are you fishing that they are that dark? No wonder you hate pinks!
