Great opinion and I have a lot of respect for Kevin but if you hook a steelhead that has been hooked, played or landed twice that week do you think it would still jump all over the place and go crazy or do you think it would just bull dog using the current?
A questions for those that have fished Oswego a long time...I started fishing there around 2000 and noticed a bunch of domestics that were as previously stated looked like footballs, short and very wide. I actually caught a very colorful male that I estimated was in the 16-17lb range in 2002, I thought at the time I would get another as I had seen quite a few over the previous couple years, so I released it...I didn't catch another one like it and saw very few since. I had some domestic that were over 10lbs but they weren't the same shape. My question is...was there a different strain there years ago?...and there just isn't anymore around. The only other place I saw fish like these was out west in some of the lakes. Oh, and about 3 years ago I lost one in N. Sandy that was huge and wide.
now thats exactly what were talking about .... what is that? rainbow ? domistic? steelhead ...wild spawn ... orrrrrrrrr mix??very very nice fish
(From Simplecarp pictures On page #1)I agree with every one of your examples except #5Can you tell what the date was at that point?If it was after December I would say Male Steelhead, alot of upper river steelhead that spend the entire winter in the shallow dark water will take up coloration like that for camoflage. Who can ID these?
i have a possible wild Steelie i caught last year out of the burtyi know its not native to burt but everything was clean. fins were tight no marks. and boy did it fight harder than hell... harder than any other steelie ive ever hooked

Are them are the crazy bass giant rainbows they catch up by DRIFTER in Canada ?? They look familiar
I just want to know if you are in any of those pics with either fish? If you are then, darn dude, that is one nice catch. Bet that was some real fun to land a fish like that. What did you catch it on.........Flyrod, CP or ??
