Parrot Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I don't know, but the picture looks a little fishy to me. Three of the fish have identical expressions on their faces. What are the odds of that? Rick, did you clone some of these guys with Photoshop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot even figure out how to upload the pictures; let alone use Photoshop.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio Flynn Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Nice salmon, I think. What kind? FISH, SHOW ME MORE FISH!! I MSUT SEE MORE BIG FISH NOW!!! King Salmon To me the salmon neophyte but still student for some years; in Manistee they are about 2.5-4 weeks from entering the river to be corralled in the weir and "milked". Skin color starting to get a bit dark on some fish. Some fillets are 3.5 inches thick in some areas. It was just so busy and euphoric on the boat we just had little focus on pictures.

Looks like a great time on a family vacation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 They all have hooks in their mouths! Really? That seems awfully cruel. I am going to contact PETA to see if they know any more about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a Coho salamon? I was just up canoeing on the Platte River in in Sleeping Bear Dunes. Had to canoe through one of those weirs. What do those things do? Just keep the fish from swimming into the lake too early or the other way around? I've never fished. I like to eat them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio Flynn Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 PETA proably would not be real festive about the 5 inch spike nails through the already passed on skull of the salmon. Not 100% on my current fish biology although I had a couple advanced classes 25 years ago. Salmon in most species at the end of the cycle come upstream spawn and die in the weir. Wiers now days are managed by State department of natural resources(DNR) or the Federal department of the interior. Trout are sent futher upstream in the river after milking of eggs or sperm; trout eat in the river system. Salmon in the weir are starved as a normal part of their life cycle,( they feed only in Lake Michigan or their home body of water), and not too good for eating. Rumor is they go for catfood. Coho is another subspecies that the DNR manages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
