^ Why does it matter if he posts a pic from the skeena from back whenever?

Beauty pic Sterling... Gorgeous fish!

Because it gives the impression that fish was caught recently.For sure not on the Vedd because its running high and dirty now! The freshet is on!

Hey Everyday,  nice shot, what kind of camera are you using, it looks sharp.

Pretty sure it does not matter where/when the picture is taken.  Porn is porn. 

BTW that is a beautiful shot ED.

Hey Everyday,  nice shot, what kind of camera are you using, it looks sharp.

First of all, thanks for the kind comments guys!

All my shots the last 3 years have been using an Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 model (blue).
Love the under water pics, the quality is unreal (as many have most likely seen through pics I've posted). Same with the above water/scenery/macros shots.
Videos are fairly good as well, especially the underwater ones.
I especially love that I could zoom right in on that pic and take a piece of it and have it clear still (12mp). Example (and you could go much closer still):


Something must be said for how you use the camera though.
I normally set my camera up for the conditions that day before I even start fishing.
This might entail taking a few pics and adjusting the exposure, light settings, etc until I get a shot I am happy with.

I prefer my pictures to be a little dark off the camera, because it is much easier to brighten them than to darken or take out white out streaks, etc.
That last shot however was one of the lucky times that it came right off the camera and I liked how it looked unedited. In fact original looks better than edited.

I'm thinking photo of the year.  That shot is amazing!!!

I was feeling a little burnt out from steelheading .. well driving an hour and a half each way, then driving some more and getting skunked anyway .. but glad I decided to hit "one more run". He put up a great fight, and I got some much needed experience on landing in a specific area/turning a strong fish on a steep bank/bushes, and more importantly releasing a wild fish. He never left the water, released in under 10 seconds.

Nice fish Scot

That's a nice shot too Rodney, but it is missing the polished nails.

I didn't have time to get my nails done this time. Beside, that's not my hand, that's Nina's. You can tell because she only has four fingers.

I hope that 2nd fish made it back in the river, cus that isn't a coho. That is a good example of a either a late winter or a early summer on the cap, hatchery clipped STEELHEAD. Not a coho! Don't bonk it cus its missing a fin.

Nice fish hookR.

[DionJL]

I see an adipose fin. Should be released either way.

[Sandman]

He did mention in another thread that his 3 steelhead were all released.
