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

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

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

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

 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...

No that is a native out of water.

Its the QIN Rez. Whitey rules do not apply...

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