My best Columbia River Steelie
« on: September 10, 2012, 03:59:55 PM »
Fished about 3 hours, caught 2 ten min apart half way into it.  Second fish was wild and released.

My best to date, 34" and 14#s

 :drool: :drool: If that fish had a little more girth, it would be a stud. Nice fish anyways  :tup:

It is a horrible picture.  Now I will be forced to spend another winter wet and freezing my butt off standing at the river.  Nice to see there are still nice fish being caught now and then.

20 lbs. seems to be the magic # for steelhead, but in my book anything in the 12 Lb. plus is a trophy.  Nice fish.

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

Nice fish, great eating!
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.
