I'd spend a few days in jail for getting that bad boy on film.
A one in a million fish.

Heck, put me behind bars too. Perhaps it will take a little Malcom X to overturn it but if so, I'm there to suppprt it.

Truly an awsome fish, bottom line is we all love to see a true specimen, big, strong and I'm sure a worthy challenge to land.
Very cool, thanks for sharing.

nice fish for sure but with all them guys holdin that fish, how manytimes did you guys have to take that hog out of the water for all of them pictures you took ?

showmemore,

Give it a break!!

I maybe new to this board but not new to catching many 20-30lbs.ders in northern B.C. over the years. Sorry, have to agree with B-run, 22-25lbs. Still a very nice fish, glad its still swimming.

I continue to be amazed by people who can "weigh" fish from an internet photo. I handled thousands of steelhead while port sampling years ago, and I've caught a few too, including a lucky few over 20 pounds. Yet, I can only say that Johnny Coho's client's steelhead is as big, and likely bigger, than any I've seen up close and personal.

Looks good to me, I would have no problem believing #35. Just look at the size of the head and the features.

For those who may be interested, my FedEx friend picked up a 38# steelhead from the Taholah fish house that was being shipped to a mid-west taxidermist.

That's the biggest one I've heard come out of the nets so far. I hear it came out of the Queets.

Thats criminal FNP.

I've read enough ..... enough with the naysayers.

That is one big steelhead, measured by credible fisherman, caught in an area known for BIG steelhead.

I'm on board with it. There is always someone out there that will question your fish (but not their fish).

I have weighed fish, showed the guys fish, had them call bullsh!!t, weighed the same fish in front of them and then had them question the scale. Some guys just like to rain on someone elses parade.

Nice 35# steelhead. Gotta love it dumped on

A little saying for you -- People shouldn't hold strong opinions about things they know nothing about.

JC didnt do anything the rest of us wouldn't have done. Great fish!! Its the stuff you only spend time daydreaming about. Thanks for the pics.

My Jimmy Buffet sig says it all!!

A pair of upper-teeners!

The guy on the left looks like he's wearing a thong!

I commend you in your skills and appreciate that you and I see eye to eye Johnny--this is fishing Have Fun and those are memories that will be there Forever---like Quake Nate. SRBC

I have a wallhanger done by Luke Filmer and you could not choose a better person --its friggen beautiful-yes its a replica so no sniveling and yes I took the fish out of the water to get a picture and released it gently and wathched it swim away.

"Dorkey's Law"

Well done Johnny
