I haven't really fished for salmon in the salt for a long time but what I can see for sure is that they are all WILD.

Ok, so the silver in the tail of #1 says it is a chum, that would make #5 a sockeye. I'd do better if I could see the inside of the mouth. I haven't caught many chrome bright chum in my day, that's the excuse I'm sticking with.

I'd punch them all as humpies as there's a 4 fish humpy limit in MA8-2.

Just a minor hi-jacking. Attached is a picture of a fish that was removed from the stomach of a coho recently caught off of Westport. It measured about 8" long and although some folks called it a herring I'm thinking it is a juvenile shad. Any other thoughts on the identity of this fish?
