First post and first steelheads :)

[Manyo12]

Well, I finally got my first post in. I apologize for stalking this site for so long But until I had something to really post I didn't feel comfortable. Well anyways, after finally getting all my gear ready (I have always fished for Tuna, bass, catfish, trout, etc.) I was ready for my first Steelhead adventure(next will be Salmon) My wife and I went with a friend of hers from Fisherman's (Paul from Juniors guide service) He took us out on the Sandy and it was an experience! I was 3 for 3 (2 Hatchery and 1 Native) within the first 2 hrs. We finally hooked up 11 times that day bringing 6 to the boat and keeping these 3. Hope I wasn't to long winded but I am beyond stoked! Thanx for all the terrific advice on this forum also!

Nice! I haven't had the pleasure of fishing with Paul but, I have been to hear him talk about steelheading and he know his @#$% thats for sure. Congrates on putting fish in the box.

Saweeeeeet Great post and congrats on those beautiful fish:clap: I noticed in the first picture the definition between the top black color and the lower chrome color of the body is quite different in each fish. Nice catch

Always did like 'kissin' on first date! Nice picts.

 

[Manyo12]

I always kiss my fish out of respect and I think its good luck I'm a little superstitious I guess. I usually do it right before I release them but these looked good enough to eat
