Boy I figured out my picture software so you guys might get sick of me now!

Last fish landed on day two of three over at the coast. So, now to the picture.... I made about ten drifts through this hole with a well used shrimp tail and that weightless felling, a very suddle typical steelhead bite, and I dough balled it,... felt the fish,... hard hook set,...nothin...gone and gone. Then of course, at this point I had landed four fish so no biggy, but I still said the ussual superlatives [img]graemlins/berry.gif[/img] and then rebaited and cast back out. And in another ten casts (small hole) wham!, landed this nice hatchery brute.

Later that nite, back at the ranch when I was checkin out the pictures that I noticed the fresh hook scar, pretty kewl huh? [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img]

Notice the two fresh bleading holes where some over zelous quick trigger (<<<ME>>&gt set the hook too hard and a little early I presume, or maybe you know sometimes things just don't work
out. [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img] So give me your guys thoughts, expert opinions?

I'm not really sure what the question is. Nice fish though.

Nice fish!

Naw, I think your hook sets are fine. This fish was just probably trying to turn itself inside out to get away from whatever was tugging on it and go off.

Agressive little bugger huh?

Looks like a nice broodstocker and an outside the mouth hookset.
