Out of interest, how heavy would you say this fish was:  |

Its always hard to tell when the fish is pushed forward away from the angler... Well you wouldn't want to hold that one too close would you? |

I'd go along with Springer's estimate?

Springer's close, 14lb
The photo came off FishScotland with the caption:
A 14lb Cree salmon caught in August 2006 by Chris Izod, Newton Stewart Angling Association beat.
I posted it, as Alan says, because it shows how deceiving photos can be.
Like Ross, I thought around 20lb when I first saw the picture.
I've never seen a fish with a black head like that?

That must be the first Chinook salmon caught in Scottish waters! |
