It was rough, but I'm always up for taking one for the team.

Post by: 7mmfan on April 07, 2019, 08:01:57 PM: Didn't have to miss a day of work for this one, but I'd gladly have missed a week for it. Pretty sure he bit my stuff but missed him. Buddy drifted his stuff through 10 seconds later and nailed him. Epic fight, worthy of fish this size.

39.5" x 21.5", somewhere between 23-24#.

Post by: jackelope on April 08, 2019, 07:32:00 AM: Oh man. Steelhead of a lifetime there. Congrats!

Post by: 7mmfan on April 08, 2019, 08:04:35 AM: It was an absolute tank. The 2nd biggest I've laid hands on. The guy that caught him is pretty sure it's the biggest one he's landed. He's a very seasoned angler with a lot of large steelhead under his belt.

Note; we were behind at least 10 boats when we hooked this fish. Just goes to show, you don't need to be number one.
