Yep, that's a jack (small male).

I'm not saying this to criticize or accuse anyone.

If you look at where and how the fish is hook, the fish is hooked from the outside of the lower jaw, and looking at the hook angle, the line is pulled tight from the outside toward the inside of the mouth. Just as an FYI, that's a sign of fish being lined/flossed. I know you didn't intentionally line fish, but just in case you are wondering, that fish most likely (I say that with almost >90% certainly) did not strike your egg bead. If a fish did take it intentionally, you will hook the fish from the inside of the mouth. When you are salmon fishing and you are wondering whether the fish are actively taking your bait or not, this is a sign that they are not taking the bait. Even if you see the fish moving its jaw, it is just trying to get the line out of its mouth. It does not mean the fish is snapping the jaws at your bait.

Again, I'm not accusing anyone of intentionally lining a fish...but it is just something to observe for new salmon anglers.

Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear. I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger.
