It's out of the water, laying on rocks.
Not OK, nor is it legal.

Haha,you should have seen what I did to it afterwards! Maybe I could give you guys a call next time I go out,you could show me how to land a wild steelhead with an 11' flyrod with 12' of leader(8lb) by yourself without a net. Don't wonder why many never post anymore. I could write about puppies and rainbows,and still get flamed! Its just sad
You're clearly in the wrong, and are getting snarky when someone points that out?

Maybe,sir,you could offer some pointers on the doctors perfect technique?
OK... follow the guidelines in the regs.
If you can't land it without beating it up and dragging it across the rocks, cut the leader.
And I never claimed to have perfect technique. I just have respect for native fish, and would never harm one for the sake of a pic.

This new crowd is a sensitive bunch, you would totally get flamed for puppies and rainbows.

I would enjoy a thread about fishing for rainbows with puppy's.. Do you skate or nymph them?
Epic Fish..
Due to the excess weight, being more than the weight of say a kitten (unless we are talking about tying on a chihuahua) I'd say they would need to be nymphed, but I am no expert and could be incorrect there.
There are lots of people that would have bonked that fish, or like some that just drag the thing up on the rocks and jump on it.....and then realize its a wild fish. Some people are touchy when it comes to native fish, personally I wouldn't have brought it up on the rocks. I spey fish and it is hard to land a fish with a long rod, but it can be done. Hell, I haven't even landed a winter this season yet.

Been good on the alsea all week. Fish are starting to show in numbers all the way up to Five rivers(maybe higher, but that's as far up as I have fished). Watched a guy hook up at Clemens in about a foot of trickling water today:yikes:. Went 3/8 in a couple of hours today. The hen was chrome but her eggs were too loose to use. Oh Btw an odfw biologist was present when the wild fish was landed and released unharmed.
