Dutchman,
I caught a 21+ lb silver that year. I was out in area 11 . Took over 30 min. to get the fish in.The fish made some screaming runs and did alot of aerobatics. With the first jump my wife says "Its a nice king" But after afew more leaps I told here thats no king its a huge silver.
I have never caught a steelhead that would compare with that silver. But I have never caught a steelhead that big so I really cant compare the two.
