First Atlantic Salmon!

[grayer]

Just wanted to share a picture and video of my first atlantic salmon from tonight! It was a great hookup on a simple egg fly, with an awesome fight full of jumps! I was out with my buddy from the forum Swany93 on a Lake O trib. What an amazing fish. Quick picture and then revived and released. Enjoy the season guys!
Heres the video:

theres one on here from a couple of years ago, seems no one can agree whether or not its a brown or atlantic

 

[tossing iron]

I read somewhere the Atlantic has just 1 row of teeth on top as compared to the 2 rows the brown has. Or visa versa. lol
Can't remember now.

Beauty of a specimen! The fins on that thing are huge too, doesn't look like a stocked fish.
