I thought that was a king at first too, but looking at the mouth, I'm guessing it's a nice, big Atlantic hen.  Nice job bro!  Those wild Atlantics are beautiful!

Try coming to Lake Ontario.  I found lamprey marks on smallmouth in the past two seasons.  Almost every salmonoid you catch has a mark on it.  I do my part and kill every lamprey that comes aboard in the summer.

the white river runs through my parrents back yard downstate, and one year i was fishing smallmouth and went by the old fish beds, and there was a school of about 15 lampreys spawning on it, so i threw on the ol 3 prong hook, and i got 6 of them. i have only seen them spawning like that once since then and that time i was only canoing, so i smashed as many of them as i could with the canoe paddle, actually killed on of em.
