I ll agree that that fish would be lucky to push 20lbs, whoever that jackass in the boat that said 25lb is an idiot. However, when was this video shot? I've seen much bigger fish out of Glenn's boat. So it must be old. Also, we've all killed wild fish, at some point. I certainly wouldn't kill that fish, and I don't think Glenn would either. But we must be careful to criticize him if it is indeed an old video. We've all learned from our mistakes in the past, and most of us, including Glenn, have adopted an almost 100% C&R mentality. 40inches is a big ironhead.

It was probably 18-20 lbs, but certainly not a worthy of a wall hanger. Especially considering Glenn fishes so much prime steelhead water. Plus a repro is a much better mount. It can actually accentuate the size of your fish. I'll agree that that was a dick-head thing to do, but let's not jump on him too hard, I've seen him release a lot of BIG steel. Also, I've seen certain forks' river guides kill fish for their clients. So lets not be too hypoctritcal. I guarantee most of the people on this board have bonked a wild fish. That's a fact. Live and learn. I'm sure Glenn has, or at least will from now on after reading all of your hypocritical bullsite!
