Thx! It's going on the wall!

Sweet! Hopefully it gets recreated to look as nice as it does in the pic.

Congrats on a great fish! However, replica mounts are great too!

Hunterman · « **Reply #6 on:** February 24, 2014, 01:12:18 PM »

Great color on that fish

Have you checked into a replica type mount? That way you get to have your cake and eat it too

Beautiful fish, Swatson. As hard as steelhead are to catch (for me, anyway, maybe not for others), enjoy your catch/harvest/kill. Congratulations.

So anyways, lets here the story Swatson. Most of us have yet to break the 20# mark and would rather hear the play by play all the way down to the wood shampoo!

ffbowhunter · « **Reply #17 on:** February 24, 2014, 08:27:23 PM »

Great looking fish! I can't wait to get back out once the rivers turn around...

Thanks fellas. A guy in Aberdeen was recommended to me. Can't think of the shops name but the guys name was Phillip.

Very nice fish! I love steelhead fishing. Was that caught on a a spinning rod or fly rod?

Swatson · « **Reply #37 on:** February 26, 2014, 06:14:59 AM »

Thx everyone. I was just drifting eggs and sand shrimp the entire day. It was actually pretty funny, we were floating by a nice little hole and my buddy had first crack at it and went too far and snagged up on a stick, while he was busy breaking off I dropped it in the hole and Bang! He doesn't think its as funny as I do!!!

deltaops · « **Reply #38 on:** February 26, 2014, 12:48:47 PM »

That is a real beaut for sure.

elkfins · « **Reply #39 on:** February 28, 2014, 12:52:38 PM »
