I wouldn't want to get my hand bit by this guy. Fun to catch though!

Can I ask what you used to catch him?

I always wondered what all the teeth were for when they don't eat at that stage...
Cool pic, as always!

My guess would be to guard or defend the redd. They are pretty darned aggressive towards anything that gets too close.

I caught it in Utah and it is illegal to keep kokanee between Sept 1-Nov 30 so it was released.

I take it they are deteriorating/declining/dying during that period?

Eventually yes, but this was early in the spawn. I expect the fish in the photo lived another 3-4 weeks before running up the creek and finishing out the spawn cycle.
