i banked one the other day and it wouldn't stop moving around so i bonked in on the head with a pretty large boulder and it had almost no affect. maybe thats why they are called steelhead

7/10/2012 7:29:00 PMlol i have no idea, but since i dont have a mallet or anything and couldnt find a hard stick at reiter, i just straight up punch em, you gotta get em right above the head in this sweet spot and they just die instantly, but then your hand hurts haha, yeah there tough little fellas. i just find it crazy that most smaller steelhead fight harder than some big silvers.
