My apology for the hijack.

All I can say is.... if I caught that fish in the Vedder and it was a hatchery Steel it would be immediately bonked without any thought !!! a Steelhead that big is the catch of a lifetime and would spend it's remaining days looking down at me from its mount on my wall !!!
congrats to the gentleman that caught this beauty !!

Excellant sites thanx Rod.The video about steelheaders with the hole in thier boat was hilarious.The comments about retaining one fish[albeit a world record] by the fisherman himself tell it all.If there were only a lot more like him the fishing community in general might be held in higher regard.How many career fisherman can say they agonize much later over having taken one and only one fish after many years of catch and release?If I am ever fortunate enough to meet this gentleman I will consider it an honour to shake his hand!
