It had eggs. Tim wanted them for river fishing steelhead. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

King salmon tail(added picture ) has spots over entire tail. Coho does not, just upper portion as does the one I caught. It is a tricky one to identify. If it didn't flake so much as coho usually do I would have though the same. Thanks.

Closeup of spots on tail. Only upper portion not entire tail as a king would be.

You played it safe. Fish another day, I always say. BIG COHO! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Warbler, thanks. I haven't seen a king flake like this one if it is one. Mouth color can be deceiving at times(picture angle). The tail was not full of large spots, which is typically of kings, but on the upper portion of the tail as coho. Look closely if you zoom in to the tail in the cooler. I hate that bouy that is unlit as you mentioned. I'm always on the lookout for it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Pretty flakely king don't you think? Gums were were more white/gray than black. Picture angle shows it more black than it really was. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Your ice method works well! I bought some freezer containers at walmart. $2.47 for stack of 4. They don't crack, made for freezer. Made in the USA! Picked up 4 sets. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
