I am beginning to think you dont even know what kind of fish this is, and your hopes were that everyone would agree and you would finally have figured it out, now you are mashing the keyboard in google images trying to figure it out so you can tell us...

If you had never heard of caucasian, I would certainly not have expected you to have heard of a squab. But it is a subspecies of Atlantic Salmon...chub and horse know more about them than I do. I think horse has even caught a few back in the day...

Hahaha,

Yeah, 'Ask the Audience'.

As I alluded to earlier in this thread, this poll is little more than a lesson in tolerance.

The characters to identify this fish to species are clear in the attached image. There can be no doubt about it's identity given that knowledge.

Could be a perch tho.

Lefty-Canuck · #**101** 06-28-2011, 05:59 PM

See here is the thing, I made my guess before I read your other post regarding this.....so I may want to make a change...

thats funny, I don't see the picture of the inside of the mouth...which is in some cases the only way to visually tell for certain the difference between a brown and an atlantic. People keep talking about the tail and calling it a brown, but I have caught atlantics with tails just about as square as they come. I even caught one with a squire tale once...

BeeGuy · #**103** 06-28-2011, 06:04 PM

And what was this tale from the squire?

did you actually find a picture of a squab? awesome!

BeeGuy · #**107** 06-28-2011, 06:13 PM

That may sometimes be the case. This is not one of those cases to my knowledge.

im willing to bet my reputation as a river rat from the age of 12 that it is what i said it was.
i dont understand why so many here seem to think atlantic salmon have a forked tail. they have a forked tail as parr which they lose when the go to the ocean. other then that i have never caught an atlantic salmon or have seen one with a tail that was anything other then square.
again i am 99.9% sure it is a "slink" atlantic salmon

TreeGuy · #**109** 06-28-2011, 09:37 PM

Caught loads of 'Slinks' (biggest being 54") back in NS. Never really saw one that looked like that. I suppose it all depends on the location of the water it came out of though.

54' inches eh you shoulda took a picture or even kept it seeing as how thats almost 5 inches longer then the canadian record.

TreeGuy · #**111** 06-28-2011, 09:59 PM

*Edit out smart arse remark......*

Was not the 54" mark beaten in NB (wanna say Miriamichi, but...) in the late '80's-early '90's? The guy caught it from a canoe I believe. Kindda in the same time frame I landed mine.

that record is bogus anyhow, atlantic salmon get huge....100 pounds huge...

flyfishing only 902 · #**113** 06-28-2011, 10:10 PM

yes the get retarded huge and have been caught in the 100 pound range in commercial nets. but the largest one ever landed in canada was on a quebec river in 1939 in quebec and measured 49 3/4 inches and had a girth of 30 1/8 inch.
what river did you catch it in?

flyfishing only 902 · #**116** 06-28-2011, 10:24 PM

Largest documented.

Eastern Woods and Waters had an article (and pics) of a released Atlantic around 1990 that was estimated at 54-56" based on the ribs of the canoe. Weight was also chart estimated at over 100#.

I caught mine about 500 yards from the mouth of the stream where they tended to group in the spring prior to their re-adjustment to salt water.

It took a 'Red Devil' spoon loaded up with night crawlers, with 10# test on spinning gear. There wasn't much left of the old girl and it only took about less than 10 minutes to reel her in. (She was well under 20#s we figured)

There were about 40 people fishing the spot at the time and a Lands and Forests officer stood by my side as I used my rod as a measure and etched a mark into the fiberglass to be measured later. It was illegal to keep Slinks, and she never even came out of the water.

I measured the mark later at 54", but you must allow a +/- 2" margin of error to be fair, no?

Hopefully she survived, but I somehow doubt it given her condition. Either way, a pretty cool catch. I hope this clears thing up and ends the derail.

ya i caught one i estimated at well over a hundred pounds. i gauged it based on the ribs of a fat woman on shore.
its illegal to keep slinks because only a pathetic person would even fish for them. doesnt matter what you fish with they will attack anything. and seeing as how i grew up fishing the margaree which is known world wide for its big fish and only on one occasion in 15 years ever saw a fish even close to 50 inches.
either way id like to thank you for making god knows how many salmon not have a chance at being a repeat spawner by fishing with your red devil and worm gob.
oh and to further back up my calling bull**** on you is the fact that it is illegal to intentionally fish for them. but hey thanks for admitting you broke the law on a public forum.
