Big January 1 Nate
This fish was #4 out of 6 fish for our 1st trip of the new year. This is my cousin with his second ever winter steelhead. The first came a few hours earlier in the first hole the first drift through. This big nate hit like a freight train. I thought it to be about 20#s. It doesn't look big from the picture but I tailed this thing and it was fat. My cousin is about 5'11 and 190#s. Look at his hand around the tail. I have caught 15, 12, 9 pounders and this one is the biggest I have seen with my eyes.
So how big is it.
