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!

Thats awesome!
-
OH god... prepare for the worst and bashing from elitist :chuckle:
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
-
VERY NICE FISH!
Let them bash away, at least you read the rules/regs!
AGAIN, CONGRATS!
-
:yike: What a hog!!

No that is a native out of water.

Its actually a brood stock fish from the lakes brood hatchery that has returned. Thats why the small Dorsal fin...raised in a pen.

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.

Damn!

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
-
Wow that's a HOG!!! :yike: 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...

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:

Amazingly sweet......Spend the money and put it on the wall.
