Stopped by Carkeek at sunset to try for a pink. When I got there, the drizzling rain had just stopped and I basically had the beach to myself. There were lots of fish rising near the shore so I tried casting some spinners with no success. Switched back to a buzz bomb and after a few casts I got a brief hook up, but no fish.

I was getting ready to head home soon, but got a savage strike, and when I landed it, it turned out to be a coho! A nice little surprise, but the fish had a surprise of its own. Turns out the meat had parasites, which was a shame because it had nice red flesh. Afterwards I realized that the head did have a funny looking green color to it which you can kinda see in the picture. Is there any way to tell if it has a parasite before you keep it?
