my .02 cents is to leave the fish in the water if you are going to release them.

yea i know, but they were kept in the water the whole time, until camera was ready, lifted securely for 3 seconds and released. cant do any harm, unlike those guys who drag um up the rocks, get um covered in sand, go to their bag, get their camera, take 20 seconds to get a picture and released um to die. I hate it when i see that.

But if it were that bad to hold um out for a few seconds more states that just washington would have the "no natives out of water" rule.

Got this hardy fish today on the Notellum on a jig. Had bite marks all over her from some seals, but other than that, it was a good day.

SLAUGHTERED STEELHEAD TODAY I was the only guy on the ENTIRE river, and fished my favorite little places nobody ever fishes, they only fish well in low flow but the river FINALLY dropped back low like i was in december. went 8 for 11. 3 on eggs and 5 on jigs, depending on the hole. God it was sick, no peoplea round, all alone and 8 fish to hand by 11am. WHAT a day for late season fishing. caught 4 darker bucks and 4 chromer hens. Kept one hen, released rest. Heres pictures below, and i will also be editing and making a SWEET video compiled of 3 steelhead i caught today and a giant buck dolly also caught today. Look for the video soon, ill post it when its done!!!!

Dolly measured 26 inches, HUGE thought i was steel until i finally ripped it out of the logjam. The fish i hit in that logjam today were ridiculous dude, I horsed um SO hard to get um out. I think this dolly is the one that ate our bobbers the other day, LOL

Thanks guys! Too bad i couldnt get more footage of some other fish, or maybe a bobber down or two. a little difficult to make a video of the fight when im alone cause they gotta be pretty tired to get the video. But still cool. Hopefully more to come! [thumbsup]

Nice video FF! - You have the same issue I do when making em, trying to figure out the best way to not make the viewer dizzy while watching [blink].
