It's a pink lucky.  Scale size is tiny, springs are much larger.  This is almost always the easiest way to tell them apart, other than head shape once you get used to seeing a few of each.
The tail is forked, spring tails are square...(should be a dead giveaway)
The caudal penducle (where the tail joins the body) is very tapered and thin.
Pinks have little teeth like that sometimes.
Lower jaw is typical of pink, longish...

It is a very typical pink salmon(except for the teeth:) )  Congrats on the catch :)

Nice pink... I saw one caught today in another river.
Beauty little fish.

Actually its a red chinook jack about 14 inches caught on roe while bar fishing the lower Fraser. I'm sure it happens but in my 10 or so years bar fishing the lower Fraser Ive never seen a pink hooked on roe, also I have never seen a jack pink before.

If anyone else thinks that its a pink have a look at this photo, pink salmon do not have teeth on their tongues.

time for me to cook up a serving of crow for myself  :)
I've caught toothy pinks, but never with teeth on the tongue like that.  If you didn't show that tongue pic I'd still swear on it being a pink and be none the wiser.  Nice little jack and sry for doubting you!

Jack from this morning, when the bite was off the gobs of roe were no longer working their magic, I threw on a white and orange egg sucking leach jig. Buddy was telling me a story and out of the corner of my eye, I realize that my float is nowhere to be seen....fish on! Another buddy laughs and says "was wondering how long it was gonna take for you to set that hook, I was about to do it for you!"
