Kokanee Time

Its that time again, the kokanee are starting to spawn, and soon the cutties should be feeding on them heavy, we walked a river between two lakes yesterday, saw lots of kokanee but not alot of trout yet, besides the two dead ones we pulled out, Cod? we have no clue, they looked like perfectly healthy fish to me. not a mark on them, from improper handeling or a predator, Im thinking it may have choked on a kokanee
Here's some pics of the dead one, and some vid of the kokanee
This one Measured in at 21.5 inches and guesstimated 3 pound, just a note, we found it laying in the river, but for pictures sake we hauled it out, The other one we saw was around 16" and it had looked like it had been there a while longer.

There's the vid on the kokanee getting ready to spawn
