Searun cutty

Got this surprise while salmon fishing on a south coast stream....23" and 4+lbs....he is on his way to spawn....only out of the water for a quick pic

Very nice catch man!

Crikey! Me thinks that is the biggest SRC that I've ever seen (live or in a pic)!

Beautiful fish

Yes, there is a big racing stripe on him. I thought for sure as I was fighting him he was my first winter of the season. Got him in and as I was unhooking him, the red slashes appeared...I told my buddy it wasn't a steely, but a cutty and he was off to the gravel.

Wow! I've seen them like that down there but my PR is 16". Good job!

Are you sure it wasn't a sea run cutt bow. lol Just kiddin man, kinda anyway. What's up with the stripe? Does anyone really know? BTW, nice fish!

Sea Run Fatty

Yeah ive never seen a sea run with that bold of a stripe.. Beauty of a fish though! Could maybe be a sea run cutbow? ha

Very nice fish!

ohh very pretty fish:clap:

wow, thats a fatty

cutbow no doubt..........sorry but its true......still sea run though??......

very nice fish
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The unpredictable catch, isn't fishing great?! Nice!

Nice fish!!! :clap:

There are some very nice Cutthroat in some of the south coast streams!

Cutties have pink stripes too and if it's a sea run that's been in fresh water for a little while it would most definitely have a stripe. Sometimes it's just as bright as a rainbows. That is most likely a sea run cutthroat not a cutbow. Cutbow's are actually fairly rare in most areas.

most cutthroat that have red strips are not coastal cutthroat, they are westlope,lahontan or greenback which are a bit east of oregon.
