I agree with Hotrod its a Chinook

[Coho Cody]

i hope so to

[Richmond]

not your usual looking blue back
but its a Coho

[Tex]

The shape and a lot of the colouration/spotting screamed "chinook!" to me at first, but closer inspection of the head and mouth, along with the tail, have swayed my opinion back over towards coho.

Well thats the first coho i've ever seen that looks like a spring jack!

looks like a big fat coho doe....can tell just by looking at the head and tail, I notice that some coho almost have or do have a square tail!

[Trout Slayer]

HAHA thats a "chinook" wow they really do need to make a fishing license test. Coho not even disputable.

[Steely]

The fish is clipped which also means it's probly a coho and no spots on the tail. It's a coho but a weird looking one

[wagz]

I agree - Coho.

It's great to see people learning how to identify the fish they catch, it's also disheartening to see guys who are "regulars" consistently misidentifying fish...   Please learn how to id fish before you go fishing. If you're not sure or have questions, post photos and ask.  We should take it easy on the newbies but c'mon guys who are on here regularly, get with it.  Everybody starts out a Beak, just don't stay one!  Thanks for posting the photo of the nice fat coho doe Ghost Fish.

Coho, but I'm saying Buck.

it looks like he's forming his Kype.

what do I win?

At first glance it appeared to have black gums. After you said coho I took another look and saw the white gums. Dont assume just because its a clipped fish that its a coho. Their are clipped chinook.

come on dude you mean to tell me at first glance you didn't think it was a chinook? yeah right don't kid yourself! i bet over half the regulars including yourself at first glance thought it was a spring!

To be fair to those who misidentified it (as I almost did), looking at a picture of a fish is much different than being on the river and having it to hand.  I agree with CK in that I bet a large % of members who saw that fish thought "Chinook" or "Chinook jack" at first glance.

I'm a newbie when it comes to fishing for these but if you "regulars" have so much trouble then we need better identification guides.
