Better if you release the fish in the water. When you bring them up on the rocks it can cause alot of damage. Not a spring jack you can see white gums instead of black its a coho jack

they are both rainbow trouts, or steelhead jacks(???).
see the first picture.
you can see the spots on the lower portion  of tail, and brite fin colour.
cohos have white gum, but black mouth.

i ca see the line, but cant see the hooks on the both pictures.
it means they engulf the hooks.
it seems that theres no way to release those fishes in the water.
