woodro Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Check out this tiny Jack I caught in December, weirdest markings ive ever seen on a salmon The Normal side this is where it starts getting a little freeky and a close up Any thoughts as to how this could happen?
urbanangler1990 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 wow thats freaky, kinda looks like a steelie??? but wierd look for sure, i have no clue what couldve happend...lol
Greencoachdog Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 I'd say that was bruises and under the skin bleeding for the cut/injury on the left side of that fish, probably caused by an attack from a larger fish.
FishFinder Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 looks like a coho, i have seen them half black and half normal, some seem to change into spawning colours in sections.
woodro Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Posted January 7, 2007 Sleeping on the same side too long. LOL he's got bed head
Fisherman Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) Was that a clipped pelvic(ventral) fin on the right side? Edited January 7, 2007 by Fisherman
jordan Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 I have seen that before on other fish not sure if they were salmon or trout. It looks like it was dipped in oil. lol jordan
tjsa Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 It is definately not a steelie, its a coho, the length of the anal fin and spots on the upper tail are a dead giveaway, As for the blackness, the recent lamprey hole just up behind the gills is what probably caused that. At least, it looks like a lamprey hole to me.
ccmtcanada Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 Wow...now that's strange!!! I'd be happy to pull anything out of the water at this point though....LOL
camillj Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 Yep definitely a Coho , and that black stuff is probably an infection from the gash above ... looks like it may have been a narrow escape from an Osprey or some-such ... just a guess
fishergirl72 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 LOL he's got bed head LOL @ you and clampet!
kemper Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) White gums, its a coho. I have seen fish with big dark areas around wounds kinds like that one before, so Im gonna go with the others and say its an infection of sorts...a really organised infection, with straight lines? lol. Edit- post 900. yikes Edited January 8, 2007 by kemper
Peter Panfish Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 I'm with Greencoachdog on this one.
dheitzner Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 As for the blackness, the recent lamprey hole just up behind the gills is what probably caused that. At least, it looks like a lamprey hole to me. it definately looks like a lamprey mark to me
