Would have been better to leave the fish in the water and let him go immediately. Unfortunately a lot of the time fish die later after being handled too much. Sure the fish swims off, but you have compromised his protection against bacteria and sticking your hands in the gills doesn't help either. Have a nice day.
I would think you would need a nice strong rod for that
How do they taste?
Great vid!
Thought Steelhead were the fish of a thousand casts… oh, and sorry I'm late to the party.
If I catch one I will kill it and eat it
