OMG......
This is why some hearty folks fish for winter Steelhead somewhere north of Sacramento.
One of these on a fly would be enough for a lifetime.

Bill, do you have any details to go with the photo?
I heard it was a conventional tackle angler that caught this unbelievable specimen. I still can't get over the size of the shoulders on this buck ,what a stud!! The legendary Smith.... that there is what it's known for, still glad they exist!
Monster. Been going stir crazy waiting for the weather to cooperate for an outing. Might not happen this year.
Wondering if it was released? Would hate to lose this fishes genetic's.
Geez!! That beast is thick too!!
Hey jbird, welcome back aboard.

This fish was caught and released by a woman. Think the guide's last name was Coopman and also saw a short video.
Wow! glad it was released.
However, looking at that fish I doubt I could have got it to the net with my 9' 8wt BVK.

Largest US Steelhead come from the Smith River in the winter.
