April 15th, tax day, 2001. Got out of the hospital from knee surgury, wife picked me up at hospital, she brought my pole rigged for steelhead off the beach and a folding chair. I begged her to take me to Lagoon Point on the way home from the hospital to make a few casts for 15 minutes. I walked down the beach on my crutches, she carried my pole and chair. First cast, yes indeed, a huge steelhead! I got it in, took pictures, packed up our stuff, went home to recouperated. I don't know the weight, but I, and everyone who saw it said it was 17 to 20lbs. Pretty big for Lagoon Point.
