I've been looking at this fish for the last week on my desktop. It's no monster by any means but she just looks sooo good. I couldn't resist posting. \:\)

Mike C - That fish is so bright that the center/belly of the fish is over-exposed.

Take note that your camera lens is picking up the dark background of the rocks so the shutter is staying open a split second longer. The rocks are perfectly exposed but your steelhead is a bit washed out. ;\)

Next time, catch one that ain't so bright , you're hurting my eyes........

You know it is bright when they have those semi-translucent fins!

A blue pirate wiggle wart- I thought those were my secret. You have to be careful what you show in your picts. You could have hung a red hot shot or a big K16 just to keep them guessing. ;\)

Nice fish!

Thanks for the photo tip. Hopefully I'll get a chance to work on my picture taking skills again.

JTD: what makes you think I caught it on that plug? \:D
