Whats so rare about a male pink salmon?

Tinney

It's a chinook Noahdog....look at the head. A pink will not show a hump like that in the ocean. Hence why I said "King"

A male will when its getting ready to spawn, which they do before heading to freshwater...Chinooks dont get the hump....

DOOOOOOOOD
I am positive tinneys right, and the rest of you who think its a pink... man alive some people are really durps. Look at the eyes, then look at the scale size...man alive seriously...

the hump is just a deformation (ie some f***** up cells with no direction decide to rebel against authority it happens with teenagers, why can it happen with salmon)

Tinney

IT'S BACK IS BROKEN.

Male pinks do not develop a hump like that until they're in freshwater. It is a chinook.

Yeah check the scales they get finner towards the tail end.Pinooks do exist

Actually pinks will get that badboy in the ocean, depending how long they are there, most often freshwater has to be present in order for them to show. Either way you look at it, thats a nookie

lol i know im into it

On a side note, working at the keogh fence, theres been coho that look like that, it happens, anyone have a mole? some sort of rare genital disease due to a trip around BB mountain? it can happen

No trust me, hunters are worse. Fishermen are possibly much more biased, but hunters are more evil

i would have to say it a deformed chinook if you look at the lateral line it is does not run true to the body it actually bends up twards the hump were if it wasa pink the lateral line would be complete straight throught the body

That is a deformed spring. They do not develop spawning characteristics while still in the salt, only slightly while holding in the estuary waiting for an increase in water levels to head up river. Cool to see that fish can be ******ed too :)

I say deformed spring as well nice job cutting the tail out of the photo Mark you really know how to stir the S--- :twisted:

Holy crap, post a pic and log -off, wont do that again. I nearly got some of you banned! Didnt mean to stir anything! It was definately a spring cought way out in the ocean, nowhere near a river. That hump was a huge tumor of some sort, filled with infectious puss and crap, everyone almost puked when we cut it open! There was no sign of an injury or anything. The fish was about 20 lbs, the tumor was bigger than a nerf football! The meat was actually red but it went to the crabs, as there was no takers after seeing all the crap squirt out of that thing! Sorry to get you all fired up!

gross - stuff squirted out? must have been a ripe male

Maybe some of them hatchery fish genes got into this guy or been hanging out of Powell River. Good way to get tumor.

this is why I asked what the inside looked like, I was thinking parisite or viris of some kind. I nature land or sea nothing last long if its crippled.

Definately just a deformed Spring, and true.....they do not develop spawnig characteristics until they reach the rivermouths/estuaries.

Man alive. Maybe we need to put a fish ID section in the CORE course eh? Sheesh

YOU GUY'S ARE ALL WHACKED!!!!!!!!!!

It's an escaped Atlantic from one of the farms. Look at it's pectoral fins.

Jeesh.......

yeah dude, i dont understand how people actually thought it was a pink...definately one of those things

Most of my fish ID came from fishing and working at the fence, some ive known for years...

There was this guy in my bio class, we were learning about countercurrent exchange, he asked if you draged a fish backwards can it drown...(same guy that asked if chicken eggs exhibit alternation of generations). Anyways i just about choked, i was shocked he would ask such a stupid question so i asked the person next to me, and turns out he didnt know either. Anyways, things you learn on the coast, turns out some interior people dont know anything about em.

I'd bet alot of money its a chinook...I gaurantee i've seen more salmon than 95% of the people on here, the fish was caught in my neck of the woods and i've seen others like it....3 or 4 over 26yrs. People that call that fish a pink most likely have never caught a salmon and probably buy salmon from safeway. I hope they used that thing for crab bait!

It's a to a chinook what a 'Boston Cream' is to a donut. eewww!

So like, you catch that fish in a derby, would you have to drain the puss before you weigh it in?
