Hi there, I’m a new owner and was looking at your photos, your cooler/cutting board caught my eye, what is your setup for keeping the cooler in place while on the move, love this concept
I did see that, I was suspecting that it is a cooler sitting on a couple foam blocks with a strap but wasn't sure if it was a kit etc. just thought I see if he would share etc.
Lookie, Lookie it's a Nookie (i.e. Chinook - both of them). No use crying over grilled salmon but just be careful with your fish ID's in the future or you may quickly become friends with an over-zealous game warden
How so? Different tails... the king up on top has spots all the way from top to bottom. The silver on the bottom however, has zero.Lookie, Lookie it's a Nookie (i.e. Chinook - both of them).

A very black mouth and heavy spots on the back, deeper green color, a silver will have white gums and a black tongue and be much brighter side by sideHow so? Different tails... the king up on top has spots all the way from top to bottom. The silver on the bottom however, has zero.
A few things here... I think the two pictures of me holding the fish are a bit on the deceptive side as they were taken when it was overcast outside as well as in the shade between homes, making the mouth look a little darker than I think it really is. That being said, if you zoom in and look at the picture of the mouth of both fish while on the cutting board on the deck, you'll see the silver, or bottom fish, has a much lighter colored mouth than the king has. Lastly, silvers can have some spots on the upper back as well, which this one has, but kings are usually covered a bit more in spot on the upper back and a king will have a tail covered in spots. Comparatively, the bottom fish has no spots on the tail that I can see. Of which, I've honestly never seen the tail of a king that wasn't covered in spots, which is evidenced by the picture I attached from Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife website to identify different salmon species.

Interesting how you mention everything else, but you don’t mention the tail. The fact is, just like is illustrated in the pictures as well as everywhere on Google, that a king will have spots all throughout the tail. Both on the top and bottom half of the tail, as well as on both sides of it. If it’s a king, as you suggest, then why doesn’t it have any spots on the tail and look like the king pictured above it? Also as mentioned before, kings don’t have spots on the tail sometimes and then other times they don’t. They always do, every single time. Every king I’ve caught, that’s the easiest way to tell when they’re in the water, and the same for when they’re in the boat. Lastly, as mentioned before as well as in the pictures, silvers can also have some spots on their back.
Sorry haven't been for awhile , I have a cleat in the back then a strap to hold it. The blocks are to give me the correct height for filleting, also routed grooves with two drains on either side that I connect flex pipe to drain overboard.its not perfect but works well, but I did move the fuel valves and and Perko switches with the hatch door, so I don't have to take down the ice chest to get to things.
