Not a steelhead.

ALL mykiss have a STARK white mouth, tongue included.

The original poster of the pic is on the record stating the tongue was dark.

That means salmon.

Somebody show me any chinook with an anal fin that long with a base that short.... ANYONE?

Can't be done, because they don't exist.

I never even started looking at anal fins on these critters until I lost the "coho vs chinook" argument on Keith's all-time CHROMEST platinum river chinook a few years back. Been looking at a whole lot of anal fins since then... to the point that chinook are unmistakable.

Steelhead anal fins have always been a gimme because that LONG leading edge and perpendicular trailing edge looks so different from a salmon.

COHO.... that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
