Nope, not chums guys. But close. They are another Pacific Salmon, but native to Japan. They are not allowed to be fished in rivers, only in the salt. They are an inbetween a chum and a humpy (or maybe a sockeye). They have distinctive stripes similar to chum, but are a blackish color. Pretty cool looking fish. You will find the occasional drifter keta being caught up in Alaska. Never heard of any being caught below AK. I never knew about them myself until a few years back when I rec'd a salmon book from the UK. Has all salmon species worldwide in it (of the time before reclassification). There's a pic of a Keta there. I'll see what legalities there are and scan a pic of one.
