Nice looking fish. I was bummed we didn't get any white kings on our trips to WCVI this summer. I think they are wonderful eating.

HntnFish - there is a distinct difference in the coloring of a red meat king and white meat king. If your friend caught a king with white meat in the Columbia then it was a white meat king. There is a run that goes up the Columbia and several more on the Oregon Coast. The discoloring your talking about in a spawned out fish is different along with the general texture and smell.
