My first fish post

My bad. I was going by this and I thought my fish looked more like the pink? I appreciate the clarification.

No worries dude!

The colors and patters on coppers can vary dramatically...

I have to verify entries in our DOTY comp so am used to looking at pics of them in all different sizes and color variations.

Here is a bunch of them if you care to look:

They look a lot different underwater and at depth too...see attached pics of my buddy harold's fat copper underwater and then above...

And I attached a pic of CaptainSloppyWood's fish from last year...can see how pink the pattern was...

Cool fish!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

Excellent pictures and fish. Thanks for the info, that is the reason I joined ncka. I'm always willing to learn, and I like being around good people!

The ID guide big jim took photos of isn't available anymore.  Amadeo has one, maybe someone could link it since I seem to have misplaced it.

Correct ID gets important because there are a handful of zero take species - mainly canary and yelloweye off of mendo coast.  Chinas and coppers are both zero take in Oregon and like Big Jim said coppers vary widely.  Mis ID your fish a few hundred miles north and it makes a big difference.

Don't mean to harp, just trying to help.  ID can be a pretty big pitfall for the new guys.  Like, make sure you know how to tell a coho from a king before you go salmon fishing.  That ticket is expensive.

not to threadjack but does anyone have the two varieties of Olives.. one with the more yellow ?

I need to get me a hawg trough! Especially if it comes with that fish!

Yeah tapatalk and the standard desktop site don't play nice.  neither one renders the emojis correctly from the other.

Saw the fish and the [emoji106] [emoji106] but no smt:.

You mean a yellowtail?  They look a whole lot like olives.  Just more yellow.
