So this past weekend, me & some family (& a few friends) hooked up with a few guys from the Quinault Tribe & went out on the river to get into some steelhead. What my cousin caught was, to say the least, an AMAZING fish! I thought I should share a few of the photos with you all!

We named him "Buck Nasty' because of all the scars & bites he had on him.

He came in at 39 1/3" long with a 25 1/2" girth!

We didn't have a scale but it didn't matter to us what he weighed, he was massive!

OH god... prepare for the worst and bashing from elitist

Nice fish tho..hawg!

looks like it's about 32 lbs. anyone else ever calculate the fish's weight using this formula:
((Girth x Girth) x Length) / 800 = weight in pounds i've used it quite a bit,.. its very accurate

Let them bash away, at least you read the rules/regs!

Thanks for the compliments! I will be sure to pass them on when he gets down from cloud 9.

Thanks for the formula BIGINNER! I've looked up a few different ones (mostly in cm) & wondered how accurate they are. I'll have to try this one out when I get into the Silvers.

Not even close to 32 lbs! Generally steelhead over 20 pounds are at least 40". That thing is seriously thick though!

Hog.... Very nice. I would be very proud to catch a fish like that. I cannot wait for some of the comments.

I THINK THATS ITS PRETTY CLOSE TO 32, IF NOT EXACTLY 32.

I ran the measurements on piscatorial pursuits weight calculator and it came out to about 32 also... granted almost any 20+ pounder is 40+ inches that thing is built like a king and girth adds up faster than length it seems. Either way that fish is a pig

Rainstorm Hunter · « **Reply #18 on:** March 08, 2012, 09:16:47 AM »

Wow that's a HOG!!!

Congrats to your cousin!!

Nice fish! It is built like a king girth-wise. The tail is not as squared off as I'm used to on a Steelhead either. Look at the belly on that guy. He's been rubbing the bottom quite a bit...

Definitely a thick one...

The rules states legal native steelhead can be retained on most river systems over there,,,,EVEN WHITIES
