Pink Salmon

Salmon/tuna trivia: My mom says that when canned tuna was first introduced, the buying public, accustomed to pink canned salmon, were skeptical.


I'm told that all canned salmon from Alaska is pink salmon. Pink salmon are also called 'humpies'.

'Humpies from hell'. The locals disdain them. All species of salmon other than chums are considered better table fare. They're extremely numerous in rivers during even years in northern waters. They're name humpies for obvious reasons.

--------------------------

The baja rainbow trout was once considered a subspecies due to morphological differences. That tells me that they rarely made it out to the seas to mix their genes with other trout. Which means that there is rarely enough water flow to allow this to happen. Hence no salmon runs were likely to occur in baja's past.

When I was a wee bit younger....growing up in Terrace B.C....We caught "humpies" for
their roe to fish for springs
Springs...Kings..Tyee..Silver...Chinook....All the same
Terrace owns the world record for Chinook caught on rod and reel
I tried Pink salmon in my smoker
Don't EVER try it....Just about ruined my smoker with too much fat
Ok....I'll quit ramblin on

Salmon Counts for Fisherman's Landing


This thread reminded me of some spotty Salmon fish counts that pop up occasionly in the San Diego Union. I went to Fisherman's Landing website and found the following:

King Salmon (the only classification) counts back to 2001

2007 nada
2006 1
2005 12
2004 nada
2003 10
2002 6
2001 1

The information doesn't tell you where these were caught, could have been in US waters or Mexico.
