25+ # St ? ( New picture added)
Today one of clients got my biggest steelhead so far this year--maybe ever. It was 42 inches long by 22 inches girth :shocked: :shocked: I would guess 25 # plus. The girth and length charts show 25.4 to high 26
Sorry MR Dork but here's another picture for everyone. ( Remember everyone if he gives a slam reply lets just all ignore him) Hopefully when the client emails me his pics, I will have an even better photo.
My client got a better angle of the photo with his camera. But it still doesn't do this fish justice.

I gotta ask. Does the person that caught this fish realize its all down hill from here and they'll most likely never top that? :shocked:

What a beast!! 
Scott-
Keep adding those fatties to the broodstock program and in a few years someone may actually nab a clipped version to take home.
RichH-
Good question, but what a fantastic place to set the bar for future hook-ups.

PS. Dad Said it's a baby and needed to be turned loose even if it was clipped. Under 30 goes back in.

Scott,
Did that gene pool get introduced into the broodstock program, I hope? It would be nice to catch some offspring in a few years!

Do you think that this guy pays a scuba diver to hook the same HUGE fish over and over again on his customers lines? [img]graemlins/eek13.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/eek13.gif[/img]

I saw that same fish in my dream last night. Seeing you holding it has turned it in to a nightmare. Just Kidding, you have been tearing it up. That's a Pig.

Re: 25+ # St ? ( New picture added)
Another carefully taken picture of a huge native steelhead, with an electric trolling motor in the background! Thank God you didn't write that it was taken by side drifting, I shudder to think of the mental anguish this could have caused. Beautiful fish! I hope to hook into one myself before the run is over.
