If you're going to release stripers it only makes sense to release salmon... if it actually was a wild fish it's rare then hen's teeth!

Never really thought of keeping the fish. I released as soon as I could snap a pic. A bit harder to handle than a striper or blue though. Can't lip it, don't want to man handle it like a blue behind the eyes either. Slippery basstards. Just curious if it is a legal beagle?

Is it fair to point out that Mikeys pictures are consistently terrible? It seems like he intentionally keeps a foggy lens for subterfuge. No offense of course.

Your lucky you are bigger and less handsome but with more hair than me. Other wise I would take offense. The blurry is because I am always pulling my phone out of my pocket to take pics of fish. SORRY Christoph!!

I take offense to not only the poor picture resolution, but also the poor grammar used to fire this barb back at Chris.

I am also confused at the Christoph name here...is this some weird kind of special nickname that you guys have?

If you were where I think you might be, it could be an atlantic salmon. I've got them there before and have seen some monsters over 40". I've got them on 7" redfins as bycatch and have taken them on 1" flys sight fishing to them. They hold in certain areas along current breaks. CT and Merrimack and some others have them along with other tribs, some are wild fish. You'll randomly see them jump clear out of the water at times when they are staging. They are around all summer and hold in the same pools and brook mouths year after year. You can get them on waked flys when the water warms up a bit. Mike give me a call if you want more details - done a TON of research on these and put a lot of effort into figuring them out. They are protected, so release them all unless you're in a designated brookstock area where you can take them.

Perhaps his camera just had its beer goggles on?
