Yep, as I thought...Atlantic Salmon...

1) body more streamlined, longer than it is thick

2) smaller head compared to overall body length

3) narrow caudal peduncle

4) corner of the mouth does not pass the eye

5) forked tail

6) no spots on tail

7) few spots on gill plate and head region

8) "X" shaped spots on the body

9) few to no spots below the lateral line

10) more triangular shaped anal fin with rear edge that is slightly forward slanted to almost vertical

Congrats!

So...an Atlantics from the stocking program...wish we see more of them...
