I guess the moral of this story is to never trust a picture. I took 3 shots of the fish, at different camera settings. Unfortunately, all at the same angle, so you can't see the spots on the fin, let alone the fact that it's tail didn't collapse when holding the fish.

One shot did show a different story on the gums, though. Those don't look "white" to me. Than again, what do I know, really? Maybe all those years handling cohos and kings in the UW Fish Pond were all for nothing.



Heck, I *should* have just said it was a 20+ pound coho.
