I-Bay Steelie

[tlombardozzi]

My buddy said if we were signed up in the derby I would have made the board. Any guesses on weight?

[Too Nuckin Futts]

Around 10-12lbs

Ditto

I also was at the 10 - 12 lbs. before I saw the replies.

[bandrus1]

9lbs

[Lip Rippers]

8-10 lbs

Not to rain on your parade but probably less than 10#. The fish looks to be about 25-28" long if your hand is about 3.5-4" wide. It doesn't look too girthy, and most steelhead around 30" are around 10# if they aren't too wide.

 

Still a beauty of a fish sir! Do yourself a favor - measure the width of your hand exactly, then calculate the length of the fish in the photo. 10# for 30", roughly one pound per inch after that.

Thanks, we thought it was around 12# but without a scale who knows. It actually had pretty good girth on him but pictures are hard to judge. Still really happy.

This one was 11 lb 4 oz on the certified derby scale Saturday when we weighed it in.  It was in 11th when it hit the leaderboard, is currently in 17th and will be off the board in a day or two,  Don't worry about not weighing it in, even if it was over 10 it wouldn't have held up.

For perspective, here's Theresa's 21lb steelie

[GAMBLER]

Please tell me you mounted that steelhead Nick.  If so, lets see some pics of the mount!  Awesome fish. 

[TOP SECRET]

To this day I regret not mounting it, but a couple of years earlier we got my 20lb steelie mounted.

The mount came out terrible though. Not even close to the size/look of the fish I caught. I should have gotten hers mounted to replace my poor mount.

Who did the work?

[K Gonefishin]

Awesome steelies guys, I'd love to catch one high teens - 20's. 

[TOP SECRET]

Who did the work?

Fish Wish in Mexico. They did some beautiful work on our kings though.

Nah we just need to catch that 25lber!!!

[Frogger]

Nick, what ever you do don't show the mount, that has to be one of the nicest steelhead I have seen with that color. That's a fish! Oh yea Theresa's fish is a stud as well.
