Over the years I have caught a lot of nice fish, but this big hatchery buck was by far the biggest I have ever caught. 22.7#

I actually do have a mounted hatchery steelhead. It was my first 20...(20.2 I believe) and was caught down on the Cowlitz on June 9th in the late 90's. A dandy summer and the only 20+ hatchery fish I have ever seen in person. Have seen pics of up a couple pushing 25 and many in the low 20's. Best limit I've ever seen was SZ's from a year or two ago....where is that pic SZ? Would love to see it again!

Don't know for sure if it made the magic number but here's a sizeable and beat up 38" hatchery fish I found on the Chilliwack about a decade ago. Needless to say...he went back in the water. Sorry Todd.
