Sadly, this one won't add to the gene pool....

Seems either the tape measure or math if off a tad.

Or both.

It’s not like this practice has ever been an issue when fishing With the Q. I’ve seen a lot of Big Wild and Hatcher Steelhead dispatched this way from the 70’s on through today. Both below the lake and above the lake as well.

And yet they continue to catch fish for themselves and their non tribal hook and line fishery customers.

I think they refer to this as Fish Management Magic...

46" fish and only 19lbs?????

Um.

40" fish perhaps. I could see a skinny 40" not making 20.

But 46"? That's about an 18" in girth fish.
