Can anyone tell me if this is a pink or a coho? The fellow taunted me after he broke free. Some people tell me its a pink and some people tell me its a coho.

that's no salmon, that's a flying fish.

It looks and jumps like a coho.    Not sure pinks if are ever known for aerials like coho are.

Yup, had to slow down the video but it looks like a snagged pink salmon, oval spots on both sides of tail, narrow peduncle, more forked tail than a coho. An average coho may be more aerial than an average pink salmon, but snagged fish can do crazy stuff, who wouldn't? Although the main pink runs in our area are on odd years, there are smaller runs of pink salmon in a number of rivers in Puget Sound in even years...although 2020 is becoming more odd by the second...

East side of Vancouver Island where he was fishing gets pinks every year. OtisPBody got it right, I don't know what the point in speculating is when there's so little to go on.
