Just wondering did you measure girth and length on that steelie? cause 20 pounds is a huge fish and this one looks more like 14-16. unless the picture just makes it looks smaller...

Hate to say it but I agree looks closer to 14?

I did not get the girth of the fish, but however i got the length of the fish wich was 39 1/2 , it is not uncommon of pulling out 20 pound steelhead from the wynoochee, honestly i thought it was 18 but the guide said it was 20....
There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.

My trip to the Coast Saturday. We went 6 for 12 as a foursome. Releasing a Native and a Downriver. I went 1/6 on bobber and jigs. I also caught my first Dolly Varden(2). I tied up a new pattern the night before and after dinking around with bobber and eggs all morning I tied up a jig landing 1. Pretty frustrating. I am not sure if I was using a bad batch of Fluoro or what, but I am still stinging for losing that many fish.

No crowds and no flossing. My kind of river..

It's not your fault. It isn't very intuitive and I was just fortunate that another member posted how to do it.

First, on the YouTube page for the video there is a link under the video player to "share". Click on that and copy the code.

Second, on our forum post form on the far right is a code box that says "youtube". Click on it and this appears in your post:

[youtube][/youtube]

Now, take the share code you copied, in this example it's:

http://youtu.be/p-Qhx-RjnLs" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Remove all the code except what comes after the "/":

p-Qhx-RjnLs

This code is placed in-between the [youtube][/youtube] brackets:
(with no spacing between the brackets though)
[youtube] p-Qhx-RjnLs [/youtube]

And Ta Da!

Way to go Slayeroffdahookfishtrap!! I like your set up. It looks like it is an ingenious idea! I knew if you put in the time and read what others have done to be successful, you would get a picture on this board! Way to go! Congratulations! Is this your first Steelhead ever in your life? How were you able to see your float in the dark? I know, I know. If you don't want to tell everyone your secret, we understand. Good for you slayeroffdahookfishtrap!!
