Not critical at all. In fact I think it would be a bigger accomplishment to catch a 17" river cutthroat than a sea run. That doesn't look silver enough to be a sea run. I grew up fishing sea run on the necanicum, and they looked more like a small silver salmon than a trout. Was the meat deep red? Sorry about the picture quality, but here is an old 13" searun cut. No visible spots and blue back, hence the name blueback.Beauty!
Just curious...how do you know that it's a searun cutt and not just a big resident cutt? I'm not saying that it isn't but I'm wondering how you can tell the difference? I've always wondered how to tell the two apart.
