Pink (Humpy) Salmon
The Pink is the smallest of the true salmon and is a member of the 'Salmonidae' family. They are sometimes called "Humpies" due to a large hunchback that occurs during spawning runs. Not as highly sought after as some of the other true salmon, there is still a commercial market. Mostly sold canned, and they are valued for caviar, especially in Japan. As far as sport fishing goes, not too many people set out for Pinks. They are mostly a byproduct of fishing for another species, like Silvers, whose runs coincide in most places.
