I caught this fish today in Oak Orchard Creek today at Point Breeze... right next to lake Ontario....

Any ideas? I have had some opinions, but want to hear yours!
thanks!

To me it looks like a planter 'bow that was duped by a krokadile that is almost as big as it.

[cool][font "Californian FB"][#005000]Looks like a trout species to me. What I find even more interesting is that the prey is half the size of the predator.[/#005000][/font]

sure does DDR. thanks... makes me want to go fishing! [Wink]

A local bait shop owner has pretty much confirmed it was a coho...
along with other local fishermen to the area. And they do not think it was a snag. They said these little fish are aggressive feeders!

I found out that it IS a baby COHO salmon!

The mystery was solved a few days
after I posted this by a local guy.
he said they had just stocked some cohos this size
