zap, the salmons tail doesnt have bones in it but does have "boney" rays thats why the salmon can easily be picked up by the tail and the seatrout cant.

no a salmon has a smaller wrist in front of the tail & a seatroot has a thicker wrist thats why you can hand tail a sambo but not a seatroot as will just slip out of your hand

Did you hand tail it?

[Guest MY LAW]

i would say defo a kelt ,they will pick up food on the way back to the sea have had it happen to me on big lures for pike also dead baits , also it would be in the river that time of year making its way back ,sea trout dont get to that size very often ,also it looks spent[like it has lost a lot of weight ] if it was a sea trout and lost weight and was as heavy has you say then in its prime it would be close on 30lb ,that would be exceptionally big for one ,and prob a record fish .pity the tail cant be seen v shape for salmon more round for sea trout,that is the reason sea trout are harder to hold by the tale it pulls through your hand easier than the v on a salmon.
