So I was out today in search of big shad pods and instead hooked a 22-24" spring steelhead!!! I saw it on top for a bit of the morning and seeing it didn't seem hit the bloody Maria I had on. So then I decide to cross the river and as I was crossing I kept casting and boom fish on!!! I have never seen a steelhead jump as much as this one did!! It must have come up about 6-7 times it's was like the 4th of July on the water. After a few minutes of battle I managed to get it in. It's was beautiful wild steelhead! I wish I had a way to get a pic! I was backed up against a wall of jagged rocks it was no way to lay a wild fish on to get a pic. Either way I have the memory what this fish did! :)
No shad today though, but I did manage to get my first steelhead on a bloody Maria :)
