If it has white gums it is either a coho or a stealhead. A guy who came walking up the beach said he thought it weighed about 15 lbs. If you thought he was excited catching that fish you should have seen him a few years ago when he got his first albacore. He was 10 and the fish went about 35 lbs. We got into a huge area of fish and I was able to get them to charge the boat by chumming. He grabed a bait rod, pinned on a sardine and got picked up almost instantly. He was on that fish for more than 1/2 an hour. The only time I helped him was when the fish ran from one side of the boat to the other and I would take the rod and pass it over the outboards and give it back to him. After landing that fish he was burnt and went below to rest. Ten minutes later I saw him pop back up, grab another rod and repeat the whole process again. I think he got at least 4 fish that day. Actually he gets pretty excited with any fish. Just like his dad :-)
