I can't... I was just speculating. URB's are a white-jawed stock of fall chinook. The fish is too far away to be a CR summer and CR springers have dusky grey/black jaws.

The only thing I know for sure is it's NOT an Alaska fish. There are no wild stocks of white-jawed kings in Alaska.

The adipose was most assuredly intact.

I did see a 43# clipped fish taken by one of the other boats.
