Looks like a Adams sockeye. I would have kept it. They are the best tasting of all the sox that go up the Fraser.

I would have kept it if i was going to keep one that is...i'm assuming this one came in darker and turned chromer? If the flesh felt firm then i would say it's a keeper...

Anyhow, here is the reason I kept that fish.  First, it put up a hell of a fight.  Second, I had always been told that a Vedder Spring with a bit of color on them are fine as long as the meat is firm.  Which this one was.  I had never kept on before, so I was wondering what the taste would be like compared to the Fraser Reds.  Now I know, and I was not dissappointed.  Would I keep another one, only time will tell.  But, I don't get to the Vedder much at all in the Summer.  So the run is pretty safe from me!!
 Another strange fact was, that the fish actually chromed up, like a bar after it was on the beach a couple min, and stayed that way.  But we were to lazy to retake the pics. ???  Guess we shouldn't have been, thus this whole thing would not have gotten started over there!! ;D
