I don't think you can kill wild coho jacks... That adipose is clearly visible...

Anyone want to contradict me?

Cheers,

No.  You're correct!   ;)

As for the photo of the fish, it looks like a spring - but the tail is lacking spots (indicative of a coho).  Too bad we can't just take a "whiff" and see what the fish smells like.  That would provide a pretty good indication!   ;D ;D

I've noticed that the tail spots on some springs are quite subtle.  Anyway - that fish looks very much like a spring to me.  Hey Sinran - did you get a good sniff?   ;D :D  Also - was it a red or a white?

FF was right that it was a white. i got a very good sniff on it and it almost turned me off.  :P   
there were some visible spots all over the tail when i landed it though, not sure what happened after staying in the ice-filled cooler for a few hours. I thought it was a wild coho at first too, but after checking it out and made sure it has black gum, i confirmed that football-shape salmonide was a spring. :)

I knew it was a white, i find the spots on a white spring are more bold looking and long looking, on a red spring the spots on there back are smaller and less bold, thats just me, thats how i knew it was a white
true ;)
