I do hope you cooked that sucker up and didnt throw it back (or worse, mount it on the wall).
Steelhead is amongst the most amazing fish I have ever tasted.

Congratulations on your first Steelie this season!
I fondly remember Washington Steelhead and those from the Great Lakes as well.

Some might think it a sin, but I was given some by my inlaws's neighbor, and I made a red fish chowder. Glorious.

I live on the wrong coast for steelhead. We do have a "run" of them out of one of the lakes up a river in Va. I have never tried for them. Spent today musky fishing. No luck for me but my buddy did land a 42incher.

Despite all my years around the Great Lakes I have never caught a Muskie.

Nice fish! Nice boat! What did you catch it on? I've fished both the Salmon and Clearwater Rivers in Idaho for steelies back in college. We slayed them on a pretty regular basis drift fishing with Sammy Specials.

I have only ever seen people fishing for them when in Minnesota. Funny thing is I looked through some old pic of when I was like 10 and noticed the "pike" I caught was actually a small tiger Muskie.
I feel bad that I made my dad clean that thing... Not a one of us knew jack about pike at the time; we were all trout and bass.
