[fish or cut bait]

Yesterday the wife had a fish on. It cleared the water 3-4 times. All I saw was it's belly which was a bit orangie red in color. Was this a coho as I think chum and springs are usually white to grey? :hmmm:

yeah i have had some on but have yet to land a coho this year. I need to get out more!

Actually.... it may have been a chum. Those things are quite feisty this year and will do a lot of jumping if they are cleaner. I landed one this year that when it jumped looked like it had a red belly but when I brought it in, all I had been seeing was the red bars and it had a white belly.

May have been a coho but COULD have been a chum as well. If you want to get really into it, it could have been a boot of a late red spring too :cheers:

More than likely a chum, but it could have been a steelhead.....

chum, definetly not a coho with an orange belly

 

[reelangler]

Perhaps it was one of these?

LOL... funny.

Either a chum or coho I would say.

Thought chum went from white to grey then black. Looked around 7 lbs range.

Here is proof chum get red/orange bellies eace:

 

[Crazy Drifter]

But Chum dont get thier pink belly's till the tiger stripes and true colors show. I would lean towards the ho' theory, If it was a chum and was jumping I'm sure fish or fvr would have been able to ID it from a mile away.

This happens when a coho is in the river for a while, they start to change color.

Hey Rick I love roe...........buddy............

I had a pink belly after the first time I met Rick. :happy:

Was a clean fish not an army truck

Like someone already stated before... the clean chum also have a redish belly on them. A clean coho will not have an orangy belly, so it was most likely a chum. I got a chromer chum this year that didnt even have bars yet and still had a redish tint to the belly (when it was jumping), but when I got it in the belly was white, maybe just the way the sun hits it ???
