Nah, it was between 12 and 13 though. We didn't actually weight it because we wanted to keep it in the best condition for releasing. We have some fish in the fridge and that big of a fish isn't the best for eating.

Thanks though, he was a nice fish indeed! And first cast of the day!

Ah. The old extend your arms for the camera shot trick. I know it well. Beautiful fish nevertheless. And kudos for releasing it.

Ok is this home fishing channel or HBTalk?

Let me help get you back on track...

What were you drinking when you caught that fish?

Good work on the steelhead. A awesome fish

I'm up on the Olympic peninsula and hoping to catch my first steelhead in the coming months.

Fly Fishing leads to other nasty hobbies, in particular Fly Tying. then you'll start collecting tying materials and looking over roadkills with a tyer's eye. The wife are start getting on you about what do you need all them feathers and furs and threads and stuff for?
Then, you'll think I can build my own split bamboo fly rod!

Not that I have closets full of things to support these other hobbies

Nice fish good looking spawner. Ive always been told throw back Natives and the dark ones

Yeah I believe they're just getting ready to spawn here too. Plus I have a pretty high respect for these fish, so if we have a little to eat and it seems like they can make it, I put them back in. This guy took a couple minutes to revive because it was a long, hard fight (thought he got my caught on a log at one point) but he swam away perfectly.
