Original Toronto Star caption: Nothing fishy about this one. Deligated angler Jim Parsons displays the big one he landed in the Credit River yesterday-nearly 15 pounds of coho salmon 35 inches long. His boss gave him the day off to go fishing near Port Credit where salmon are running in record numbers and fishermen by the dozens line both shores of the river. Catches are many and big It's Parsons' first salmon this year; the only he's caught around Toronto
