I went to the Puke by Mama Tortinis again this morning. As a transplant, this is the first time I have ever caught any salmon. I have caught about a dozen pinks so far, but this morninig I caught my first silver. Caught 3 other pinks to go along with them. Semi crowded, but we all worked very well together. One person was carrying a nice 15 lb king up to shore. Nice fish!

So far all of the ones that I have smoked have turned out great. If these don't pass, C&R from now on.

The meat on the pinks looks alright judging by the photo. Did you descale the fish? Maybe that's what has them so off color. Nice job catching a mixed bag :-)

Those fish look like they are alittle far gone. The 3 i pulled out of the Puke today looked the same and i let them go. There were lots of spawned out fish floating down river today also.

I did bleed them, put them on ice the second I got to my truck. What do you look for to keep them?
