Would ya believe I punched them holes earlier in the afternoon the he got this out of.:lol:

[fishindude644]

I'm not a salmon/ trout genius but are you sure that is a steelhead?

[Joeker51]

I would say salmon.

[Ferris_StateHunter]

Looks to a Salmon to me... Sockeye salmon that is

[TippinBig]

ya thats what i thought its was A Mr. Salmon
Joeker where you out there when he caught it!

[BIG DAVE]

Here ya go.

Would ya believe I punched them holes earlier in the afternoon the he got this out of.:lol:

looks like a pink!!! havent seen one out of lsc ever, st marys i have:evil:
where was the pict taken? steelhead, salmon, i seen, in lsc.

[Katch One]

it's a salmon. you don't see too many that color in michigan, must of got lost on lost on his spawning run. too cool.

[Joeker51]

ya thats what i thought its was A Mr. Salmon
Joeker where you out there when he caught it!

Yep. I walked over when he was hoopin and holleren steelhead....... I had the Ficious Jig hat on.:lol: Said he caught it on what he called a Canadian spoon jig or something to that effect.

[RyGuy525]

that is a male coho..... That fish is very confused! It is in full spawning colors but should have spawned months ago.

[salmonslammer]

Im not going to hit that bait......

[chef daddy]

from the picture its got spots on the adipose fin?? makes it:) a steelhead!! does it not!!! loook at the pc?

[plugjerker]

wow,Sure looks like a king to me.

[fishfly]

that is a male coho..... That fish is very confused! It is in full spawning colors but should have spawned months ago.


Thats what I was thinking but it has spots on its tail. Most the hos I have caught have zero spots on tail. Looks like a ho though???

[Joe Archer]

Must have been pretty cool to see that come through the ice.
I'd trade the pike that snapped my line Sunday for that any day of the week!
<----<<<

[TippinBig]

hey dave, i took that picture from my phone in front of SANG! joeker was there cause he knows all about the canadian spoon!

[stinger63]

that is a male coho..... That fish is very confused! It is in full spawning colors but should have spawned months ago.

Yeah definately a male coho but his biological clock is screwd up.Now what in the world is coho doing in LSC?Very strange to have witnessed I bet.One of my friends caught one out of Lexington through the ice Christmas day a few years ago which I thought was strange.

[fishindude644]

Thats why the great lakes are so great. You never know what you are going to catch.

[ficious]

Oh great!:sad:..... ya got thre only east side salmon left! Now what are we gonna do all summer:mad:

That had to have been a blast, then shocking. Good job!

Don't coho's have a deeper fork in their tails than this one? My guess without a better pic or being there would be steel(more likely too with the Clinton close by)
Mouth(gums) color would have helped too. Look at the hen in the photo's at the top of the site page.

[Mark Sylvester]

WIERD!!!:dizzy::16suspect

[Willie Tippit]

That to me looks like a fall run male king,You should take that in to the dnr,It maybe would help them in some degree...Uncomon yes ,but i thought that to till i caught a few handline...Mark

[Kelly Johnson]

I bet he ATE all the perch:D

THAT'S where they went!:lol:

What a catch though. I'd have been a little freaked out shoe-horning that thing thru my 4" hole:yikes:

[wannabapro]

It's not a king because the tail is not forked at all.

It's not a pink b/c that fish is definitely a male and male pinks in spawning colors get a big hump on their backs. I caught a male pink 2 years ago in spawning colors in LSC in September while bass fishing and it had a huge hump.

It could be a coho, if it had been caught in October.

That leaves only a male steelhead with a big 'ol head and that does make sense as they are running the creeks now.

[Willie Tippit]

Thanks for that mike..makes sence

[Clinch]

C,mon fellas. Slight fork in the tail, you can also see a tad of black on the lower gums. That is an S.E.michigan coho. Saw 4 or 5 caught out of the huron this season that are a spittin image of that guy.I would love to hook one of those through the ice. Very nice fish.

[joecc]

There is no doubt that it it is a male coho...the white gumline is unmistakable.

[MillDoo]

Looks like Coho. Caught one last year jigging for Walleye in SCR.

[Bob T]

My buddy and I were in our shanties when he landed the fish. We were close enough to hear him hollar about it but we did not come out to see it now I wish we would have. We were too busy catching 12 in jumbos........Yea Right.

Bob

[BAMBAM18]

That's Awesome!!!! great job!!!!

[Nascar31Fan]

That's an awesome bonus to the day!

I'm not familiar with them in anyway, but I remember years back that guys would troll for Coho right after ice out in the North Channel around Deckers. Not sure if that's still the case but could be one that just lost his way.

[smallywally]

Tail is covered with spots, gums appear to be white - looks like a steehead.

[Andrew B.]

I'm definately not a trout/salmon expert but that fish sure looks like a salmon.

[Clinch]

A cohos gums are white with touches of black throughout the gumline, a steelie has no black anywhere on the gums, and a king has almost all black gums. Also, it is not uncommon for a coho to have some spots on the tail. I know its kinda tough to tell the difference if you have not caught many of these fish in the past. But that fish is a salmon. A guy on the huron pulled up a coho and he was so happy that he caught a nice male steelie. I showed him the specifics and he turned out to be even happier that he had landed a coho. They are very similar, but to a expierienced eye, you can tell them them apart just by looking at them. I only know because I have landed many of these fish over the years. Hope this helps.

[Prime Time]

It's a male coho

[sawgunnerusmc]

For sure a coho

[jguc1]

Defiinitely a male coho. A few do run up the Clinton River in the Fall, although I hear that there are a very small# that run up early, and others that run up really late.

Cool!

-Jeremy

[jiggineyes]

Forked tail,black and white gums,hooked jaw=male coho! Awesome catch!

[Radar420]

Awesome catch :coolgleam

[Johnnydeerhunt]

Not a steelhead. It is in full spawning colors in March? The jaw is hooked (kipe), the tail is spotted, but based on the photo it seems to be only on the upper lobe. Curiouser and curiouser...:16suspect

[salmon_slayer06]

so what is it?

[stinger63]

Its a COHO 100% man you guys get to know your fish:)

[PerchOnly]

:lol: I know it's not a ........

[CAPT HEAVY]

Male 'Ho. I was wonering if anybody fishes salmon off deckers landing anymore? Used to do pretty good there in the spring but that was back in the stone age!

[RyGuy525]

it amazes me how many guys dont know what the species of fish in our lakes look like. I can count the amount of salmon i have caught on both my hands and only 1 was a coho. I still knew the second i looked at the picture. Its time to start studying guys...

[riverrat777]

that is getting me excited for the salmon stakes tournament this year.nice catch.

[stinger63]

[tog1]

Tail is covered with spots, gums appear to be white - looks like a steehead.

I agree. but he looks like he should be on the rebb not out in lake st clair. I heard that they are starting to get them in the clinton.

[MUSHY1]

Nice Salmon all the same!!!!!

Mushy

[quest32a]

10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0% sure that is a male coho.

Caught hundreds of them this fall. They all look the similar, nothing like a steelhead or king.

[quest32a]

Heres one from a few years back for comparasion.

[MSUICEMAN]

Nice steelhead quest!
















:evil:

:lol::lol::lol:

i'ze knowz a ho when i'ze seez a ho.... thats a 'ho

[Carpmaster]

That is an awesome Coho!!! The mottled gums are the giveaway....awesome fish!

[Fishslayer5789]

Answer: coho salmon, male the end lol!!!

http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/photopost/data/531/medium/IMG0101.JPG

Female COHO on the left, male COHO on the right. They run from usually the start of September and you can catch them all winter long sometimes well into March on both sides of the state.

[basskiller46]

Im pretty sure its a pike in full spawning colors:D

[Fishslayer5789]

LMAO at that last comment. Nice!:lol: I just can't believe how many people don't know how to identify fish in Michigan.

[BIG DAVE]

looks like a pink!!! havent seen one out of lsc ever, st marys i have:evil:
where was the pict taken? steelhead, salmon, i seen, in lsc.

the way i see it. the hooked jaw, dark coloring, makes it a stream run rainbow
trout.. whats it doing in the lake now. did it swim down steam to spawn? that fish looked like it was in the river for a month,
look at the plotches on the belly? pink salmom. what color whas the meat
when you cleaned it. dave

[RyGuy525]

IT IS A MALE COHO! I cant believe there is still arguying about this when there has been pictures of male coho's that are identical to the fish that was caught and i put a picture of a male steelhead in spawning colors. IT IS A COHO END OF STORY

[jiggineyes]

Are you sure that a coho Ryguy???:evilsmile:lol::lol::lol:

[stinger63]

I dont know man I think it s lake run pink salmon they also have a kyped jaw and the color sure looks pinkish.

[adam bomb]

Wow has this gotten outta hand...Its a Coho. Look at the jaw, and its colors, the color of the fish, look at the white that runs along the bottom of the tail. Also note the spots on the upper portion of the tail...COHO...Heres another pic of a coho that looks identical to the one pictured.

[stinger63]

Theres no way that fish can be a coho everyone knows that they dont get caught through the ice in march especialy on lSc Maybe its a Giant rainbow smelt:16suspect

[Joeker51]

Adam............me thinks some of the boys are just stirring the pot.:16suspect

[adam bomb]

:cwm27:...now thats funny right there....Sure it isnt a burbot though?:16suspect

[stinger63]

Stir up the pot ..............Soups on:lol:

[adam bomb]

I know they are. Im just amazed at how grossly the I.D. was botched. I knew what it was right away, but took about 45 seconds to find the first positive I.D. as further evidence. A few more clicks and i found another great I.D. photo...Amazing what that google search engine can do. New technology i guess.:yikes::lol:

Thats a good soup....lotta flavors in this one.:lol:

[Joeker51]

I was there when the guy caught it. He was just thrilled to pull it through the ice. Nice fish but a tad slimey.

[stinger63]

I was 10,000% sure as soon as I seen it but I dont know what kinds of are what thats why everybody at the river up here axes me when they dont know.:lol:

[Big Daddy Benelli]

That's a COHO for sure!!

[mkarpov]

[Team Spawn Bag]

Its definately dinner

[Shetan]

I saw one for the last two days swimming in a canal in SCS.

[GONE FISHIN(LARRY)]

I'll through in a curve ball that fish might be a pinook a cross between a king and pink , a few years back there were quite a few of then in Lk. Huron most just thought they were small kings when caught out in the lake . With the red belly and hooked jaw at first look looks like a male coho but then the tails looks like a king tail . There is a strain of kings from Alsaka were the males get red bellies It's for sure not a steelhead .

Without a better pic were I can see inside the mouth and see the tail a little better my quess is pinook .

Just my 2 cents worth .
