BRIAN0214 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I caught a strange looking steelhead today. Does this look normal to you guys. The fish had a very long face on it compared to another steelhead the same size. Here is a picture of the fish with another steelhead the same size. This steel head also had a hooked jaw like a king salmon, but I know it wasn't a king. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1mainiac Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 looks like a hen and a buck males have longer lower jaw lines usually well past the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO MO BEGGEN Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 even if the two fish are the same size the males most generaly run smaller so it could be a year or two older which would most likely result in the larger hookjaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
