Nice tail, but isnt the fish a bit thin? Did you release him/her again?

Congratulations on your catch. Not just a nice fish, but an
absolutely gorgeous piece of small steelhead water in the background.

Could I just mention, however--in the event you were C&Ring--that if
that fish, held that way, were to thrash out of your grip and drop on
those rocks, it could conceivably do itself considerable harm. Very
nice pics can be made of fish held just barely (inches) over the
surface of the water.

It's one steelie per day, so we released the others unharmed.
The fish in the picture weighed 8.6 lbs., the others were smaller.
I was surprised on the pull from the fish on the 6w, and had the drag set
light cause I was using 4x tippet. Took about 13 min. to bring in.
I wouldn't know about the thin tail, not an expert on steelies, had nothing
to compare to.
Also my first time eating steelhead, they taste great.

I'll be on the Klamath next year for salmon.

Very nice fish. BTW, you need heavier tackle.
