Not a SRC. Looks like a small pink. Interesting to find a school of little buggers, still fiarly bright too apparently. Musta been small enough to make it thru the nets ;-)

I don't think that could weigh 3/4 of a pound looks more like 2 1/2 pounds I caught one yesterday evening messing around for silvers about the same size and mine was a female

It's a pink small to no scales, spots all way down the tail. But still nice.

Nice hen for this late in the run. Thought your post was very self explanatory but I can see others don't read and retain. See that you released all your Sea Run Cuts that were about 3/4 lbs. And that you wished for a silver. Always like how everyone is so eager to bash peoples post. Nice fish good luck on the silvers.

Looks like a pink.....dark sploches on the tail. Searuns are few and far between in the Green.

BIGBYRD- I didn't see anything wrong with their report or others replying. People were just trying to help clarify what he/she guessed as being SRC (the fish is pretty small for a Green/Duw pink so could see where it gets one guessing what it may be). Seems the person (bkawafishin) did a nice job changing things up and moving around, then found a consistent-biting school of fish that were small in size... Good on bkawafishin IMO. :-) I blame the nets for the small size LOL. Can blame them for everything ;-)

I wasn't very clear on the weight. I meant to say 3 to 4 lbs (this was the smallest one I caught). these didn't look anything like a pink to me. I'm not the best at identifying fish, but they looked like some kind of trout or something. I've caught at least 50 pinks this year and I immediately thought this was different when I saw it. but like I said, I'm not the greatest when it comes to telling these things apart, so I could be wrong. its probably just that I've never seen pinks this young.

btw, I'm a guy. thanks for the feedback everyone!

PINK

P.S. There are plenty of cuttys in the Green.....from soos creek hatchery all the way up to flaminy geyser. Catch plent when we float for wintersteel head come novmeber 1st. They eat chum/pink eggs all day. Last year we got 5 in one day all averaging 1-2 lbs. Float and jig w. cured shrimp...fun times.

Why are people fishing that cant identify fish species??? Part of being a sportsman is knowledge....the other part is something that seems to be long forgotten.....that is called sportsmens etiquette. We obviously need new people to our sport, especially children, but before going out into the field we all have the responsibility to know what we are doing. Lets all do what we can to protect what we all love....fishing!!! Be informed when going into the field, and also be polite to your fellow anglers... thanks and good luck out there.

Captain Jim - I agree, it's important to research and understand the ins/outs and regulations for the area and species for which one is going to fish. I do my best to do so. Also, I try to learn the proper etiquette for the proper treatment of the fish, rivers, and other anglers as best I can. I will be the first to admit that it's difficult for me to identify fish sometimes, it seems no matter how many times I check against the pictures and descriptions provided in the regulation books, sometimes I just can't tell. Perhaps it's just me, or perhaps it's just one of those things that will take time.

I started fishing recently when my father became ill and he can no longer make it to rivers where he likes to fish. He was an avid fisherman and grew up fishing just about every river I've heard of. He is always eager to tell me what river I should go visit, what to use, what I should be targeting, etc. Unfortunately with just me out there trying to pick up as much as I can as I go along, it can be sometimes frustrating learning how to apply what I glean from him and this site. But when it finally comes together and I catch a fish, it's definitely a worthwhile payoff.

At first your comment discouraged me and made me feel that perhaps I shouldn't post on this site anymore. I'm pretty comfortable I'm what most would consider a responsible fisherman.

After re-read your feedback a few times, I decided I am probably being a bit over sensitive and you most likely mean well and your intention wasn't to tell me to stay home until I can properly identify a fish. (It also occurred to me you may be venting a bit due to being around all the crazies that seem to come out during a good pink run, lol).

thanks again everyone for all the feedback!
