I saw this in the Maine forum. Beautiful fish. Really a trophy whether you mount it or not.

Yup, picture doesn't do it any justice.

There is actually a lot darker salmon in the lake I caught that in that was kind of light for a male salmon. I was very happy with the full hook jaw.

I think if the tail was laying flat, it would show as a regular "squaretail" it's just a bit crumpled up, not really a fork. Also the mouth of a landlocked doesn't go past the eye.

After looking them up I would have to say it is a Salmon. Never seen those before. Look just like a Brown for the most part.

All browns will have red dots. Even Atlantic's in the river during a run can get a dark phase like a brown. Same as a brown going to a silver phase when they are sea/ lake run. Salmon won't have red dots though.

DAPOS · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 23, 2015, 10:30 PM »

OK, "if" it's a salmon......what kind of salmon is it? Where'd ya catch it?

Salmon

jfisherman · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 24, 2015, 10:48 AM »

Caught it in a salmon an togue lake no browns in there. 22 inches 3.5 pounds. Very nice colors for a salmon. A lot of ppl get male salmon an browns confused.

merkleyb · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 25, 2015, 02:01 AM »

Do both salmon and browns have reddish meat?
I have only release browns, never keept one.

phoolish · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 25, 2015, 06:31 AM »

my first thought was a brown but it also reminds me of a river run salmon thats been in the river for awhile.
