Hi Silverback here,i feel i should help clear this up once and for all,i know Montegobay man is very sensitive when it comes to fishing so rather than starting a big comotion he decided to take the pics
off. with out telling a big story he is how this pic happened, i had the camera ready too shoot and before i could take it the steelie decided to jump out of montegobay mans arms he gabbed it knowing that if the fish hit the water it would probably do more damage hitting  the water and rocks as he was standing in shallow water,so i took the pic quickly as he grabed it and that is why it looks like he is hugging it. i can assure you that we do not handle fish in that way.In saying that if you look at the pic of me holding the fish it is in the water.so my hats off to montegoman for not letting that fish hit the rocks.so please be sure u know the facts before accusing.bederko i'm sure you meant nothing by that reply but some of us me included take offense to replies like that.i also know where u are coming from,but i think holding the fish like and releasing it back in the river is less harmful than hitting rocks.that is all i have to say about that.tight lines and lets treat fish with respect
so children can enjoy it in the future.   thks silverback

This should bring the bickering to a close.  It is just a misunderstanding.  These guys are great steelheaders. Look at their hot streaks of fishing.  ;D  Plus look at their equipment, I count two center pins.  These are no beginners. Let's give these great guys a break.  They post pics for our enjoyment and get creamed for it. I hope this does not discourage them from posting their great outtings.  By the way guys, I attached a link on Chris' Vedder 28th thread with great under water shots.  Perhaps you guys can consider the under water camera for the wild fish shots to avoid the 'critics'. Just a thought.  :)
