The biggest steelhead of my life, right here. Caught to day in the Vedder in CANADA, so i can hold it out of the water. 16 plus pound native.

Here is my personal best steelhead to date, caught right across from the boat launch at Blue Creek side drifting my magic egg cure! Caught on a Light action 10 foot drift rod with 10 lb line and 8 lb leader, battled all the way from the launch down to the riffle below BC.

WOOHOO!
