Didn't get a measurement, a conservative guess is 17", he was healthy - minus the chunk out of his dome

Looked back through the year and am really glad I was able to out as much as I did.

Here are my two best from the year:

32.5 in. steelhead my first day ever targeting them

21.5 in. Rainbow out of river here in Pa after I moved here. Caught it on my 7ft 6 three weight after leaving my net in the car. 😂 I'm not sure how "wild" rainbows are considered around here though.

I consider them the same way I consider "wild" browns. If they're the result of natural reproduction in a stream/river, then they're wild in my book.
