chum salmon

[big black mouth]

I was walking down the necanicum river to one of my favorite nook holes when I noticed some spawning fish in a side channel, to be honest I was not sure what they were I kept my distance and continued on. later down at the hole an old man asked me if I had seen those chums, he said he has not seen chum in this river for 30 yrs. I will never forget the sight, to see the back fin out of the water with no flesh on it just bones, they were in bad shape, and a big buck attacking any hen that tried to leave the side channel for the main river. These fish had sort of a lepard pattern on there backs and I know now they were chum
