here is a gross one that wont make it in sts.

last winter I was fishing the green all by myself. I had drank alot the night before and i rarely drink. I was super hung over so i didnt make it out to the river until about 9:00.I could barely fish i was so hung over so i went and got a bacon cheeseburger and smoked a lil (Total. Hole. Control) I thought i felt better so i went back and fished some more .i threw a super gaudy jig I made, with lead eyes painted pink, right behind a big boulder into a 4 foot wide trough of soft water. i hooked into a huge steelhead and was almost completely spooled in about 5 seconds. I was runnig down a big boulder steep bank trying to chase the fish. i finally got it back to me and it jumped 3 or maybe 4 times in a row. i kept falling and stumbling on the rocks but finally pulled the fish upriver of me and back behind one of the bank boulders in to a lil pocket of protected water. I saw that it was a huge native hen, over 20lbs and definately the biggest i had ever caught. I didnt want it to get hurt banging on the boulder so i instantly dropped the rod and grabbed the fish. when i tried to lift it out of the pool it instantly snapped my leader and lept out of my arms. i stumbled again and threw my arms up in the air and gave out a huge scream of victory... before falling backwards....****ting my pants and puking.

i dont normally tell this one... for obvious reasons- but it was a 20lb he for gods sake and the only steelhead that i can sy truley beat the crap out of me!
