Fished Keuka today with a friend who likes to troll for lake trout....Took a 2 man limit of 10 fish  in about 3 hours, trolling Sutton spoons near bottom in 90-110 FOW....All were between 17-21 inches..Typical Keuka lakers… Weather was great, and the fishing wasn't too bad either..

Sounds like a perfect day Dan.

This was heavily deliberated: no spots on tail, x marks above lateral line, anal fin at a 90 to tail. Coho was the other contender but we decided Atlantic

I have seen my fair share of atlantics ( albeit landlocked) and I would agree with you...

I assume you released it because it is so rare....Hehehe...

The "beak" on the Atlantics is distinctive …. The  only  salmonoid that is  similar is the pink, or "humpy"  and  they are a northern Pacific species, which as far as I know have never been transplanted here in the east, probably because they don't get that big (  4-5 lb)  and they are not all that good to eat...

With work and family stuff this was the first trip out in the boat this year.  Talk about a late start.   Went out on Hemlock and couldn’t get the fish to cooperate.  Trolled up a small laker and a fat smallmouth.  What a beautiful morning tho.
