What FISHIN MAGICIAN you've never kissed a fish, or called out loud here fishy fishy fishy to a run that should be producing

Thank god here I thought I was the only one.   Word for word......"here fishy fishy fishy" hahahah

[Fisherama]

Fisherama .has probably started a tradition of thanking the fish and if that works for him power to him.

Hey, my words were spoken out of unrestrained jubilation...not insanity .  Although if it works it works.  I think I might start doing it more often.

Now to warn u, prepare to become a gear whore, spends tons of money on tackle, rods and reels, collect some of them, use the lame excuse of "they have sentimental value" so u dont give any of them up. And make the occasional skeen, terrace, thompson trip spending tons of money on gas and food and rooming just to hook a "fish"

I know exactly what you mean...I'm afraid it's already too late for me, my gear whoreness is already out of control.  But I justify it by thinking that it's a healthy addiction.  You could be wasting your cash on cigarettes.  Or you could be wasting it all on weekends binge drinking.  But if you smoke, binge drink and steelhead... then I hope you have a wealthy and understanding significant other.

congrats Fisherama looks like the jig you showed us at reaction... keep at it.... and keep fishing even after you get one....

Thanks again for tips, I'll be sure not to give up after just one next time   I was just really pleased with myself and decided that regardless, it was a day to go down in the books.

Excellent report, Congrats on your first landed Steel to you and Hue-nut .Don't be embarrassed about writing along winded report,we all love reading them  .You've learned well grasshopper.Like Younggun says watch your spending,you could go broke on gear in these tough economic times,unless of course your a lottery winner or already rich.Thats a beauty doe man they are a beautiful species aren't they.I was so hoping to get out today myself,knowing that Steelhawk wouldn't be out, there would be one more available slab to be had ,I needed a break after a tiring work fish week.I was out Monday and released a nice wild doe mid river(a bit smaller than yours),and was out again Friday walking and fishing allot of water, got lucky about 11 a.m. and bonked a 9 pound Buck it's been in the brine all night and just about time to fire up the smoker.I hope someone gets steelhawks slab today and has a report like yours or Hue-nuts to file at the end of the day,maybe it's C.G'S turn again,going through journal withdrawls.

Drh, this is hilarious. But thanks for the humbling remaks about me and the fish with my name tag on it, haha.  That is news to me. I have my share of skunks like everybody else.  But hey, make sure when you guys catch the fish, talk to it and ask if it has Steelhawk's tag on and make sure you release it hatchery or not. 

I will be fishing around here in Hong Kong & I may fiile a report if I catch something. I am not much of an expert on fishing locally here.

Nice report and great looking fish with excellent pics. Thanks to the Internet, we can still keep in touch in the virtual world and share the steelhead fever back home. Good luck guys. Tight line.
