Rich Posted November 16, 2012 Report Posted November 16, 2012 My friend Rob is a member here (Bottombouncer I believe is his name), but does not currently have access to a computer. I'm sure he'd appreciate me putting this fish pic up for him. Two days ago he landed his PB steelhead while fishing a local trib with me. The only credit I can take here is that I took the picture. Rob traversed a straight mud cliff, hanging from tree limbs and beat himself up pretty bad just to get into the whirlpool where he knew this fish was holding. I wasn't so adventurous, I stayed where it was moderate hiking conditions. lol Well anywho, when he monkey flipped himself into knee-deep mud, it wasn't long before a giant smashed his spoon. What a fish for Rob! I was just as excited as he was I think, just to be there and experience that. I see the addiction to steelheading.. lol :clapping: Nice work Rob! Can't wait to get into the double digits myself!
Live2fish85 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Posted November 16, 2012 Nice fish. I should fish some Erie tribs.
Roy Posted November 16, 2012 Report Posted November 16, 2012 Beauty fish there Rich. Congratulate Rob for us. I look at the face on that fish and can almost imagine him saying something. Comical face with the droopy looking eye.
Victor Posted November 16, 2012 Report Posted November 16, 2012 That's awesome. He put in the hardwork and got rewarded. That's the best kind. I always try to do all sorts of things to get "rewarded", like climbing down a steel muddy hill, wading chest deep to cross the river for a "better spot", and most of the time I come out empty handed
asdve23rveavwa Posted November 16, 2012 Report Posted November 16, 2012 Good stuff Rich, and, congrats to Rob. That fish has character!
Joey Posted November 16, 2012 Report Posted November 16, 2012 Congratulate Rob for us Rich, that is a gorgeous PB!

Rich Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Posted November 19, 2012 Big dark brute...on hardware to boot. must've been a blast. It seems with the exception of one day bottom bouncing bags, the hardware is scoring regularly for us! Rob says thanks everyone for the congrats.
FishTracker Posted November 19, 2012 Report Posted November 19, 2012 What a fish! That steelie must have smashed that hardware like a freight train! Great pic too! Thanks for sharing.
