if this wasn't a trick question i'd say coho all the way, because of the white gums. but i'll tell ya the head sure   looks alot like 'sockeye'. ???

i don't suppose you could post a pic of the tail, flared out?

at a first glance id say coho, but i would like to see the base of the gums not the upper gum line as that can be misleading  :o, " regs say look at gum base for white or black"
also the tail fin would be nice to check out   ???

but either way its a hatchery " BONK IT QUICK" lol
dont want it infecting wild stocks  :P

Atlantic hybrid ? Otherwise I'd say it's a nice looking coho

For those who guessed Nook, King or Spring, congrats.   ;D
Here's the prize. 



Here's the original post and the discussion.

Chrome salmon species discussion

There was no tail shot but there was a closeup of the mouth.  They even talked about the possibility of coho/chinook hybrids.  Looks like the camera had a difficult time dealing with the intense bright fish and so the mouth somehow turned whitish.
