Would I have bonked this fish?
Honestly?
Probably, I have only landed one steelhead and knowing that the Q is an Indian river.
But your bragging and your bad attitude has led me to compile this list.

Why I see this post as BS!

1. Your wife states that she "knows nothing about the fishing arena" but in another post she uses the term "12lb Ande Monoline".
(I have read alot of posts and I think the "wife's" posts are actually yours just by the style and terms used, unless she is very manly)

2. If you had 4 buddies with you then who cares if "No one would believe" you.
(I have shot some of the largest blacktailed deer that my taxidermist has ever seen, my buddies know and I can care less if you or anyone else believes me)

3. If you really had caught this fish you would have had it officially weighed so you can have the record.
(I have not heard or read about a new record and by your bragging here it is obvious that you are an egomaniac)

4. Where are the pictures? You state that you "harvested it last week". what does that have to do with anything?
(Last year I shot a bear, had the photos developed and then had a 8x10 blowup done all on the same day)

5. The grammar, typos, and juvinile remarks.
(Very indicative of a juvinile posting a hoax)

If you caught this fish, then congratulations and put up the pictures or shut up and go away.
