Right on bob. Those were the best chum around and their flesh had a redder color. Now the run is terrible. I agree with RnG. In the Chehalis system I always try to get as many coho as I can before and after the height of the chum run. Much better table fare. I have eaten high seas bright chum in Alaska and they were somewhat better. I was on board a ship up there one time and the cook was a Portuguese fellow. We caught some chum and he baked one in some kind of Portuguese sauce and it was pretty good. I never got the recipe.
