Ouch.. that's a nice fish but let's get off the pipe.... Not saying that the (steelhead formula) is dead accurate but that fish is not 37.5lbs... It certainly doesn't have the tail girth to be close. It looks to be about 21-22" around...

Again, I'm not bashing this fish or the size, it's certainly beautiful and I envy the guy who caught it. But it makes me laugh when people come up with such goofy dimentions...

You may get 26" girth if you measure "over" the top of the dorsal....

I caught a big buck that was guessed at 25-26 without a tape... It's head was bigger than the fish posted and mine had more tail girth. Certainly wasn't a long torpedo (43") like this fish. I'll give that fish 26lbs tops...

Perhaps the gentlemen in the pic is 6'9" 300lbs... Then I'd beleive it...
