What do you think this is ???

From your first pic, I was also thinking steelhead.

This may sound odd, but how did it taste?
I think Steelhead tastes "trouty" and coho tastes "delicious".

*This probably isn't the best way to determine the species of everything you catch.

I wonder why steelhead tastes 'Trouty' ....

Personally I think coho is so-so. I've had chum that I prefer over coho.

I can't remember the thread, but I believe you ranked your opinion on different salmon species as far as taste goes. If I recall correctly, was it Columbia River springer first or second?
Could you please elaborate on your ranking and what the logic is behind the taste difference? If I recall it had to do in part with texture and oil content, but again, I can't remember which thread it was burried in to look it up.

Good kings are my favorite table fare that is based on oil content. Yukon river kings have the highest fat of any salmon. Columbia springers are number 2 Copper river #3.
Some runs of chum have high fat content and are pretty damn tasty for the money.

It had a delicious taste to it as I recall ... I can't taste the difference in things I've been eating it all my whole life.. People ask me on the taste of wild game and all I can really answere is it taste like meat

I think I caught a steelhead this morning off Boeing Creek on a 2" pink buzz bomb with a 1.5" hoochie with a spinning rig.  I was taking a break from trolling.  White mouth and gumline, sharp teeth, spots on back and both lobes of tail.  At first I thought it was a coho, but the spots on the tail threw me.

Is this unusual?

Definitely a steelhead.  Nice!  Was it clipped?

Like a trout or pink salmon, but not like a chinook nor coho.
