October Slab of the Month Entry: B.C.Steelhead
Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 12:05AM 
El Paskador has been dazzling us daily with an incredible array of chrome but this fish taken by his friend Kim is now the current heavyweight champ.
This is the first steelhead I have ever had to chase with the boat. My buddy Kim hooked this fish and it about spooled him. We finally jumped in the boat and gave chase. It measured 39" x 22.5", but was much bigger then the measurements alone. I have never seen a steelhead carry its weight so well. It was an absolute HUGE fish, that must have been close to 30 pounds. There was some serious high-fives happening afterward.. Amazing!!!
