So I was drifting my spinner down the current this morning and felt nothing but noticed my line was moving up stream...Too much slack but I reeled in a bit and set the hook. This fish went nuts. Seemed like 5 feet of airtime when it would flip out of the water. Likely only 10lbs but I was using a light pole. I had to bow to that thing at least 10 times and after a good long fight like I have not had in years the thing gets up to the shallow water where I was wading at. SON OF A BIT*& was a wild steelhead! Had to carefully put him/her back.
I was thinking about smoked fish the whole time. What a effing let down.
