Two years ago I caught a 19lb buck silver 10 miles out from Westport. It was hooked nose, lots of color and had as many spots on the bottom lobe of the tail as on the top. We had a tripple going at the time so when my fish hit the deck the fellow that netted it claimed it was a king and quickly bonked it. The skipper turned around from hooking his fish and said it was a silver look at the gums. It was a native so it had to be thrown over board. Made me sick. Never again will I go by spots on the tail.
