My first guess was 15, we had one dead 5 lber in the boat, and that fish was for sure three times as big.

That fish went totally nuts... I was suprised it wasn't lost, really tore up the run!

Cheers,
Nicole

Nice pics Matt! I really like the second Upper Pitt one. Also that is one funny looking little fish. Probably a coho with a back deformity?

Each of the sockeye had been bonked, gill pulled, and hung to bleed out before we took the eggs. At Seymour we usually just lay our fish out on a tarp. However sockeye carry a pathogen of some kind that could be transferred to the eggs and cause serious problems at a hatchery. Each of those females was dunked in disinfectant prior to hanging. They were hung so they wouldn't touch each other. Eggs from each female were also transported separately.

Sockeye suffers from a type of pathogen that attacks their kidney.  And this has cause many problems before.  Extra care needed when handling them.  From catch to egg take.
