Brian's Big Steelie!

Oct, 2002

Yes, hell froze over - here we have Brian's 1st REAL Steelhead. This male was 10 lbs. and took me better than 20 minutes to land. My right hand/arm were throbbing by the time I got it to the boat - it had to jump 5-6 times, a classic Steelhead situation. Ed (that's Mr. ED!) was my net man, providing encouragement while I brought this Rainbow to the boat. Thanks to Tom, Rick and Ed for a great weekend, and a great memory!
