Sunday i was lucky enough to land the largest steelhead i have ever hooked. It was a 37" wild buck. I didnt have a tape on me but there happened to be a straight stick in the water right next to the fish so i put the stick from snout to tip of tail and later measured the calculated distance. I didnt get a girth measurement because i didnt want to put the thing through anymore stress.

Bob has probably seen alot of Nates in this class. Whats the chance of this fish pushing 20lbs??? im guessing he's in the high teens, but being a buck with those huge shoulders and deep belly has to account for something??
What kind of girth does a fish of this size have?

The weekend cant come fast enough, stil stoked laugh
