Just as the ice was starting to set up in the harbor I was able to catch this nice 30 inch steelhead from open water. After tossing crank baits and drifting spawn for a couple hours, I switched it up and threw a #4 orange spinner and this one hit on the second cast.

Nice job - that's a beauty. Got to say the photo is great as well. Looks like you've held a few for the camera. Hands and fingers behind the fish and not held too far out.

Took me years to figure out how to hold the fish for the camera. I was always frustrated after catching a nice fish and then when I got home to show of the picture I had to explain that the fish was bigger than it looked. Well this one worked anyway.
