Fished the duwamish just south of becu at my favorite hole. It was work to get a bite, but I could see the schools coming through during low tide. Took the yarn off after an hour of nothing, and landed two beautiful hens and a large buck. Hooked into a 25lbs+ king for all of 5 seconds. It would have been a fun fight for a CNR but he apparently had other plans. Saw one coho jack landed across the river and released to get bigger. All in all it was a fun, and hot, few hours.

Jacks dont get bigger they try to spawn then die they should be removed from the gene pool.

The fish in the middle has no spots on its tail, I would have to say it is a Coho.

Michael365 - I agree. But the last time I posted a picture of about 7fish between a group of people, two of which were coho, it apparently made someone mad who thought they were all pinks... which was impossible to tell 100% from the pic. But thank you, she was delicious.

LeviP - hahahahahaha. Sorry. I have to say no for a few reasons. 1- im not married. 2- im getting married next year to a wonderful man. 3- im a woman

Losaturn - I would say they averaged about 20 + to a school. I could see about that many near the surface, so I can't account for how many there actually were, it was a fairly deep spot they were in.
