Here's what a 30+ looks like. Dude...when you have to skip your index finger and use your other fingers to get around the tail wrist, that's a big fish...not a problem I've ever had with any steelhead I've caught! Fish on... Todd

If he caught that on a fly I'm going out in my yard to shoot arrows straight up in the air. Just remember to look straight up into the sun if you want it to be most effective... I think more big steelhead are caught than most folks realize...90% of the anglers out there have never heard of the Inter-Netz, much less frequent these boards, and there are a helluva lot more fish caught by dudes on this here board that never make it onto a pictorial report... Fish on... Todd

If that fish in that photo is 30+, then the guy holding it should be playing for the Sonics ... Doh!

I think the one on the right looks 7-10 lbs heavier ?

I think that big buck on the right is likely the largest Steelhead I've ever seen...What a killer fish! & Eli's fish is the biggest Skykomish Steelhead I've seen. Good job to both of them. Speculation of the weight is difficult, in my opinion largely due to how each large steelhead is unique in how they carry their weight. That's just one of the reasons they're such cool fish.

Do you know what how big, or what the measurements on Danny's fish was, Justin? That'd kick ass to know. That boy is a big fish magnet!
