It's the same fish Tim. I think cause the camera is reversed on the selfie, making it look like the eyes are on the other side ( If that's what you meant by it) . I love that washington bottomfish site, you just might be right Mesmer. Very peculiar species regardless. Thanks for the input dudes. We sell lots of Petrale at my work! It is the most expensive out of Dover, Rock and English Sole that we carry. That is something I will aim for. Also looking to add a Skate to the bucket list. Heard from staff at Berrys that they get Halibut off Robert's Bank all the time as well, which would be awesome to land in a kayak. Tight lines guys!!!

Nice big 'uns there Rod. Is that lice on the top fish?

Westslope Cutthroat from Yellowstone earlier this year.

Wicked pic Tex, this one will get my vote.

Amazing picture! Awesome composition and a really clear photo - which is hard to do under those circumstances. Well done!

Thanks guys - the lighting was nice and I had a bit of luck is all.

The fishing was stupendous that day. That fish was the result of a 2-3 hour hike in through thick grizzly country, followed by an approx. 1,200' descent into the canyon to access the river. I tossed large terrestrial dry flies over largely un-fished water and landed numerous (beautiful!) Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout from 8-18".

The hike back up and out in 30'C+ temperatures that afternoon was brutal, but completely worth it.

Are those tapeworms?

[bkk]

No they are not tapeworms. Tapeworms are an internal parasite. As Dave stated :Most likely this is a common parasite that seems to like coho, Myxobolus squamalis. It burrows into the skin and pushes up the scales  ... harmless to humans but I would definitely skin any fish I wanted to eat.

I have seen these bumps on literally hundreds of Coho over the years. Not harmful at all but it can detract from some of the pictures.

Saw a lot of Stamp fish with them this year.

Interesting! Thanks!
