    Default First Steelhead!

    Howdy All,

    I was going to wait to post this because I was planning on writing a "Reader's Cast", but I just have to brag a bit. I requested last Friday off from work a couple of weeks ago because I needed a little break. I didn't realize at the time that my 14 yr old son, Christian, was also going to have a day off from school. You can see where this is going....let's just say the boy dun' good. He hooked and landed a nice 25"+ steelhead.

    I'll have to figure out the picture posting thing so you all can see. That fish made the loooonngg cold winter we had worth it!!

    Take care,

    Mike

    Mike and Ron,

    You bet I was proud of him. He hooked and lost one after about 10 seconds on, and then a bit later hooked the one that he landed.

    You should have seen the look on his face as it started pulling. I think the title of the article will have to be his comment, "What Do I Do Now!?!?!?!"

    That was way more exciting than any that I have caught.
