steelhead-smith-20100131.avi

30+" native steelhead on Oregon's Smith River (tributary of the Umpqua River). Caught (and released) 01-31-2010. Airie took the video but didn't have her tripod on the camera until the second half of the vid.

Thankfully the other guy who was fishing there was awesome and ran for his net (From the look of the path he also nearly fell on the way back down) to help me bring it in. I'd have never been able to safely beach this hog.

Thanks! Kinda jawdropping to see you guys fishing in T-shirts in January, let alone water you can't walk on ;).
