Is it too much to hope that it was in fact, landed on an EXS96LL? laugh

Come on John, I spend two days with you on the Cow and all you could put me on was a colored up hatchery fish, I decide to bitch out on a trip to spend with my girlfriend and you pick her up, wtf? Gorgeous fish, if guys on this board knew how big you are they would agree with the 14-15lb estimate.

Nice fish John...
When your able to get into a Sky native, they are always top quality fish with tons of spunk. That hen is not lacking in that department!

Pretty fish for sure! 34" is 14#'s, 35" is 15#'s..longer than that the "rule of thunb" can get hinkey. Way to go!!! A heck of alot shinier than the double red striped summer runs we're still catching in Central Wa!!! smile

Excellent choice of rod for big wild steelhead. Load that baby up with 6 lb. main and 4 lb. leader and you are more than sporty! confused Very nice fish....

Assume all you want...those rods with 30lb braid and 12lb leader tire out a fish rather quickly actually...but what do I know...I just did it on Monday...and the day before that...and every weekend since the start of humpy season....look at my spool of line in the pic...that is not mono...so nice stabb but you missed.

Gorgeous fish. Perfect really.

Gorgeous fish deserve top shelf treatment. A rubber net wouldn't be a bad investment.
