...the fish swallowed the hook. he's a goner anyways
this fish was most likely 5 + years old, he's a goner anyways...they don't live longer than that.
...as for all of you that are dripping tears of sorrow for the gene pool, give me a f*ckin break, this fish was just lucky that it had never been caught and had the chance to grow into a monster, or just ate alot of food at sea. Look at your children who are overweight, take a look at what you feed them...all fish uncaught with the right food source would grow this large. Just think for every 30lb'er out there, there is most likely a 35lb'er somewhere in Russia or elsewhere.
the man that caugth that fish is a good man and did the right thing.
Would you rather have read an alternate article "game warden finds 32lbs steelhead carcass" or "man fly fishing battles fish of a generation"
if you are going to fish like men, then act like men....be responsible and be thankful for the blessings in your face.
G Aren't you the guy that was crying over the dead duck photos?  hehe, that was good.

Wow guys. What he did was legal. Be pissed a WDFW not this guy.
Though I will agree, he is a true Salvation Army douchepop. Come on! Seriously? WDFW is a waning light in the conversation world. It is pretty much closing it doors and there will be no one to show up when you make the call about someone poaching or something else of the likes. We are left to regulate ourselves in this sport and if we say it is ok to harvest one giant then it is ok to harvest all of them. I mean really, it was only one fish and it was legal? How many people harvest their one fish a year? How many people come here to harvest the fish from somewhere other than Washington? If everyone can come here to harvest the native fish, even if it is one a year, the numbers get big quick. The only one that doesn't get big quick is the one that counts the number of fish that get to spawn.

Unbe[sensored]lievable. Someone who would post that on the internet with their face uncesensored... makes you really believe that this dipshit really doesn't know any better. Go back to England you old British Fag. I have to admit Bob, that I am a bit flabbergasted that pictures of a fisherman and his catch were edited from this site because its such a touchy subject, yet this post has remained unscathed. What morals are we REALLY trying to push by letting this type of racial homophobic banter on PP after deleting a picture of a dead fish. If the guy was black and someone called him a NI**ER, would that fly around here too? Just curious. Removing the pics was a very political style move. Bravo. Lets try and keep things consistent eh.

I dont disagree with those of you who REALLY advocate catch and release, but for those of you who dont practice what you preach, SHUT UP! You know who you are.

Turbulence ... Our site policy, is no dead wild steelhead photos allowed. Sometimes I miss a few, but I try to keep up on it.
Other medium also have the same policy these days, such as the the line of Amato Publications.

Are we done? Good comments from everyone. Over 10,000 hits. How much more does this need to go on. I almost regret starting the thread. The damn whiskey drunk hangover was to blame. What was I thinking? I wasn't. Especially the location, thanks Gilly. What I regret the most is that an individual has been threatened, chastised, scrutinized and belittled for something that is perfectly legal. Myself , I don't kill wild fish and have not for over 20+ yrs. that does not make me a saint. Until we have total wild C&R by law this will continue to go on. Let us please all get over it and move on. I will probably get more [censored] now than ever, but I had to get this off my chest. Thanks.

On August 30th, 1988 a Brown Trout was caught on the Clinch River just North of Knoxville, Tn. It weighed 28 lb. 12 oz. and is still the state record.
If I take you there tomorrow...or even within a river mile, you will find people fishing so close together they can literally hit each other with their lures.
I hope this does not happen to the HOH. I don't think the wild fish need anymore pressure.
My 2 cents.

Peter's own words in response to the blog: The darker side of the story is that I killed the fish, something that I have never done in over 15 years of fly fishing in the USA. I certainly catch my fair share of fish but I have never taken a single fish at any time before. As you probably know Washington’s state laws let you to take one wild steelhead a year, there is no limit on size.
I certainly have bittersweet emotions. The elation of hooking a giant fish and beaching it but real trauma and actual stress about killing the fish. I am still upset at that part, believe you me I did not do it lightly. Emotionally I am scarred, I still have knot in my stomach over the whole incident. That has led me to ask myself the question: “ isn’t it time that all wild steelhead be released?. “ After all, if they lived long enough, and evaded seals, net’s and hooks, all those smaller wild steelhead that are killed each week, would stand a good chance of growing up to be a large size too.

Just because its legal doesnt make it smart. im not syaing its smart or dumb. it just doesnt make sence at all to make something on the forum no allowed but yet they let the racial comments slide. if its that way for native steelhead. then it should be for native salmon aswell. equal rights baby  this topic is a battle that isnt gonna be won. its on every forum, and there is multiple topics on it. the only solution is closing every single river to keeping natives. close them all down at the end of january.
