coralee Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Sat 5-28 Holland PB steelhead After a slow start with 2 small kings that went back we finally hit a decent king, lost a big laker behind the boat and then hit this guy in 140 off the slides on a mixed veggie on a braid diver. Took a team effort to get him in after he tangled into the 300 copper. Thanks to Kent, Katrina and Darrin for a job well done. Now can anyone tell me the proper way to measure it? It states in the master angler for to "fold" the tail. When I do it measures longer on one side the tail. So what is the correct way? Thanks 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coralee Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Guy at the fish cleaning station had a scale and it was over 17 but don't remember the fraction It was a bit long and thin. He did cost me a 250 copper that he got the diver snagged on when he went ballistic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan agnello Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 That's a big Steelie Bob. I'm not surprised it tore up your copper; even a smaller steelie will dance on the water into everything! Great job! We r headed to SoHa Wed n have yet to tie into a steelie; n none of SoHa reports I've seen so far have mentioned any steelies. Can't believe they r way out in the lake rhis time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
