It's one indicator but not exclusively. More specifically... it's the white/silver line running below the teeth on the lower jaw.So the light banding if the gums is the giveaway on this one?

"Can" be, but steelhead also have flat tails... not "V" cut... and not ribbed.White mouth. Steelhead. Might be a tad early in light of the lack of rain But coho, which it does like have dark mouths.
Lemme guess, whoever caught it had too much drag on their spool?The clipped fin clearly indicates a genus-fluid transpecies adaptation, probably doing a trans book reading for jacks.
I think he bought a whole farmed-raised fish from the Safeway meat counter, then slapped it around on the sandy river bank and is trying to pass himself off as the great American fisherman…
THAT'S what I think!
The fish I caught, and my daughter's coho only fought up to about five minutes. My buddies fish in the picture fought hard.You can tell you've hooked a Steelhead by the way if fights after you've set the hook.
They fight and fight hard all the way to the bank or boat. Coho's are feisty at first, but tend to wear down rather quickly, especially if they made it up into freshwater.
LOL, is that a carp or cat?Don't you fellas know a sturgeon when you see one?
Seriously. I think it's just a rainbow trout like this one I caught at Fern Ridge a couple of weeks ago.

RAINBOW TROUT! Can't you read???!!!LOL, is that a carp or cat?
Did it leap out of the water mad as heII, while it was shaking it's head trying to spit the hook?The fish I caught, and my daughter's coho only fought up to about five minutes. My buddies fish in the picture fought hard.
His or mine? My daughter's first coho spit the hook and leapt out of my lap all in one move.Did it leap out of the water mad as heII, while it was shaking it's head trying to spit the hook?
Lol, yeah, but that ain't no rainbowRAINBOW TROUT! Can't you read???!!!
FOUL!!! You have absolutely no right to dictate how a fishy may or may not choose to identify themselves. You should be ashamed of yourself!Lol, yeah, but that ain't no rainbow
If you do a piss poor job netting a coho, it will, given the chance, jump out of your kayak.If you try and pick up a coho salmon by the tail and try to hold it nose down you will drop it because it has a slick tail.
Kings, humpies, sockeye and steelhead all have a flared tail that you can grip.
This was explained to me by a hatchery worker that has handled hundreds of thousands of fish and I believe him because he showed me.
The fish in question is no doubt, a Coho.
That sounds like more of a personal problem, but one day they'll probably have a pill for that.If you do a piss poor job netting a coho, it will, given the chance, jump out of your kayak.
I don't know about the rest of the inebriates on here, but I don't want to know what you do with your fish. What happens in your kayak, stays in your kayakThat sounds like more of a personal problem, but one day they'll probably have a pill for that.
Ohh... "netting". NVM
