Steelhead from Lake Champlain Tributary
« on: May 05, 2015, 08:26 AM »
I caught this 25.5" Steelhead from a Lake Champlain Tributary a couple days ago. It was caught on a 5' ultralight rod with 4lbs test line. The fight was insane! Sorry for the poor quality photo. It was getting dark and the low light combined with the flash made a poor quality photo.

Absolutely awesome. Congrats, man.

My question is: at what point did you finally stop sh*tting your pants!!  ;) :laugh:
Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job.

All I had for a net was a tiny trout net. Only about 2/3 of the fish fit in the net! I was so happy to have landed it.
