While I realize that steelhead are built like tubafors (literally 2 x 4 proportions), as the bucks get beyond 40 inches, they do start to slab up more like a big king salmon, but never quite to 3 x 5.

Being the chinook junky I am, my whole world revolves around 3 x 5 proportions. Anything with a 2 ft girth or better is gonna be at least in the 40" range (give or take) which means it's up in the 30+ class. That's chinook proportions.

24" girth on a steelhead is gonna be a little closer to 4ft long! Holy Moses that would be one BIG A$$ steel. Does that fish exist? Usually only in someone's dreams.
