Check out this 28.6' COHO taken in Lake Michigan out of Frankfort Mi the other day. Looks to be a pure coho, not a hybrid. Weighed in at the Benzie Frenzie Tournament and documented by the Michigan DNR.

WOW is right

Holy Shnikes that is impressive! I wonder how long it took before someone realized it was a coho and not a king?

Tim,

Great pic - I am very humbled, as I have been fishing Lake O and Lake Michigan for over 20 years, and would have called that a chinook and never known it was a coho.

Thanks very much for sharing,

- Chris

Tim, did they do the internal exam? Sure has that hybrid looking tail. In any event, they sure are catching some better fish in Lake M this year, reinforcing that the Lakes with the right habitat can be tweaked and managed to their capacity without perpetual doom as we are constantly being reminded of. Great fish no matter what.

No idea Vince, i saw it over on the Great Lakes Angler site and thought I'd copy it over here. Supposedly the Michigan DNR was at the Tourny weigh in and certified it as a coho. I suppose it's certainly possible the folks doing the checking wouldn't recognize a hybrid. I agree the tail doesn't look quite right, but other than that, I don't see any chinook characteristics in that picture. There was one other photo posted over there. I'll go download it and post it here also.

Here is what is supposed to be a front shot of that same fish
