Mine is the biggest anyway. 

Of that I have no doubt

This thread is getting creepy

[RalphH]

Interesting.  Two studies that identify jill sockeye are mentioned in Pacific Salmon Life Histories by Groot and Margolis of the DFO Biological Sciences branch.  Killick and Clemens identified jack and jill sockeye and their relative abundance (Jills comprising just 4% of the combined samples) in their 1963 study of Fraser River runs 1915-1960, and in their 1962 study, Major and Craddock found Jills were nearly as abundant as jack sockeye in the OK River in some years.

thanks. That's all I wanted. From what I know Coho Jack's typically account for 10 to 20% of the males in a run. Sexually precocious males are observed in many salmonids including rainbow trout and Atlantic Salmon. I've never seen mention of "Jills" in any bone fide publication about Pacific Salmon.

Milo I don't contradict everything Dave says` for a linguist that's a ridiculous generalization. Nor is their bad blood towards him on my part. I have no idea why you'd be motivated to say this. I did not paraphrase what Dave said correctly but saying coho Jills are rare but "often seen"  is a contradiction.

Ralph, PLEASE read more carefully. Nowhere did I say you contradict "everything Dave says". You are putting words in my post that I never typed. I said you try to discredit him "whenever an opportunity presents itself". That's hardly a generalization.

Let's give credit where credit is due. Dave may well be a cranky old bugger  , but his willingness to share his vast knowledge in the field that he is so passionate about and involved in a true treasure for all of us.
Oh, and by the way, I did give him $hit for his contradictory/ambiguous statement, so there!

[RalphH]

Here's what you said

RalphH, on the other hand, desperately tries to discredit what you say whenever an opportunity presents itself. I don't know where the bad blood comes from; nor do I need to know.

(emphasis added).


even worse than to say 'contradict'. Absolute hogwash and baseless. I neither tried to discredit what he said  nor is there bad blood on my part or any desperation. I won't even get into the ad homineum stuff with you. It's unnecessary.

You are right. It's unnecessary.
And it's "ad hominem", BTW.

used to be patriotism was the last refuge, now it's the correct spelling of Latin. 

[samw]

Pathetic how people overreact and rant over little things.  Too many raving lunatics out there.

[RalphH]

... with an adipose.  Uh-oh.

notice the teeth though! Real herring shredders!

If you cant tell that's a spring, you shouldn't be allowed to fish. Pathetic how many people have no idea what they have caught. Even more pathetic how many people plead I thought it was....

Know the regs and know the species or stay home. too many goofs out there.
