Those are some nice sized perch...errr kokes.  Prolly not as big as the Gorge though, huh?

Looks like they are starting to color up.  

I forgot to mention the two on top are both about 19" long.  They ARE starting to show color and they are a tad smaller than Gorge salmon.  But hey, better than nothing or being skunked.  

Glad you clarified the length.  Hard to see the numbers on your measuring device in the picture.    19" is a respectable size for kokes anywhere.  No problem with table qualities in the early stages of coloring up.  But as they get closer to the spawn they are not as good.  Okay for smoking up to a point.  Do you still bottle them after they start changing?
