Title: Little steelhead
Post by: Bullkllr on April 01, 2014, 10:21:06 AM: Caught this summer. Don't worry- it was released unharmed. It had a fin so I couldn't keep it- even though I know it was not a wild fish.

Enjoy

It was a QIN net caught fish. Pretty sure my brother in law Shane held it for the original pic. He was woking QA at the fish house when it came in.

Fish is just "resting".

Besides, I'm a little younger and somewhat less good-looking than the gentleman in the picture.
