Holy smoke boys. Time to bone up up your fish identification! That fish is a spawned out male pink salmon. It in no way remotely resembles a chum salmon.

LOL, sometimes the emoticons aren't enough I guess. But seriously, it's only a little bit of tail rot on that chum, I'm sure it would smoke right out... :-X

He's only taking a photo with it.  I doubt he's killing or eating it.  He did say he caught that zombie with his bare hands.

Whether he intends to keep it our not, based on my conversations with the DFO officer in Squamish I suspect what he's doing would qualify for a ticket for molesting the Pink.

I am pretty sure that fish was already dead when he "caught" it with his bare hands.  It is a corpse, not a zombie.

the quality of most of the fish has fallen off to somewhere between "ugly and zombie".

I laughed out loud. Thanks!

on Monday ...visability was a couple inches at best below Mamquam and not much better above it so unless its cleared up its not worth the trip.

Yup. Chocolate milk. Everyone and his dog was snagging fish left and right. I gave up after not being able to fairly hook 9/10 fish, despite using a floating line and upturned hooks. Wish they sold circle hook flies in stores... Hmmm, maybe I should learn to tie...

I'm sure other then the person who was holding it, everybody here knows it a pink...

Pittsburgh fans... 'nuff said.
