chickenhawk Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Well.....call me a liar if you would like but this fish was actually caught...and I am sure you can tell where it was caught.....I did not catch this...nor did I know the guy who caught this fish....it was caught by a friend of a friend and apparently that was his first year ever steelheading!! LOL some guys fish their whole life to catch a fish like this.....some are just luckier than others I guess....but still BIG fish..... http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd148/c.../WSIBpg7001.jpg Here are a couple pictures of my most recent outings....as you can see I haven't been out in quite a while and the last time I did go we forgot to bring a camera....oh well plenty of fish porn coming after the weekend... http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd148/c...79776_45761.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd148/c...79777_50261.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd148/c...38509_20261.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd148/c...38511_23571.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd148/c...38542_17611.jpg Till next time, Hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnybass Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Was that fish weighed... if not, do you have an estimate of the weight? That's gotta be close to a record! I lost one at the mouth of the Ganny that had to be over 20... so I know that there are some monsters swimming around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemper Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I have a picture at my house of a steelie bigger than that. It came out of a creek that is very small, and that many many people would be surprised to hear of a steelie of this size coming from. I dont want to post it without permission of the angler that caught it but if I run into him any time soon on the river ill ask if he would be cool with it.

Sebastian Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hard to tell the true size of that fish because it is so close to the camera. Looking at the guys finger size, i wouldnt say over 20 but none the less its a nice fish. Some people need to weigh bows because they have no clue about steelhead weight. If you didnt weigh it dont give estimates. Some people are so far off. I`ve seen many times of 12lbers being "16 or 18lbs" or 15lbers being 22lbs. Same goes for muskie. 50" can be 10lbs but it can also be 50lbs. WEIGH THE FISH CAREFULLY PEOPLE! lol anyways Nice fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenhawk Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 It actually was weighed.....and it came in at 21....no one ever said anything about weight...is what my buddy told me...even if it didn't have an exact weight you can still tell it is at least 20 lbs....i mean look at the head on it....

kemper Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Its amazing sometimes how there can be a bunch of cookie cutter 5 pounders and then one like that which tops 20! This is definatly in the top 5 of the steelhead out of (Im assuming here) Lake Ontario that I have seen. Like I posted earlier I have a picture of a fish that 'looks' like it could be close to 30 pounds, and then there is that one which has got to be over 20 and one other that swam by me this year that nearly gave me a heart attack. Lets hope that fish like that and the others I mentioned go back into the creek if caught, and breed some more monsters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
