Took my son out this morning to focus on getting him a steelhead. He hasn't even fought a fish at all this season but we changed that today. This fish hit like a freight train. He didn't need to set the hook although he still did. He fought the fish perfect listening to every word I said as I coached him through the fight. I'm telling you this kid is going to be a monster when he is old enough to chase fish by him self. Steelhead and salmon beware there is a new nightmare on its way.

Wow! That's a nice fish. I think your kid has me beat for best fish, probably or biggest grin as well! Way to go Dad. I heard a saying about if you teach your kids to hunt and fish you'll never have to hunt for your kids.

Wicked awesome there CJ. But me thinks you otter teach the kid to hold the fish out for the pic so it LOOKS big! teehee, as if!
Toad there! Good on him working the fight. Had a bud that was up that way last weekend, hat a few fight stories to share, but none landed. So Kudos on the kid! Well done. And good on your dad - was hoping I'd get my kid on a BIG Bear Lake tug, but instead we just caught sunburns.
Very nice!! Great memory right there.
Beautiful fish.

Hey Crome Junkie.
Sorry I never got to get back to you. But I just wanted to thank you for all the info.
Sat morn we never made it your way. Had plans but ended up finding some fish.
We hooked up 4 times but no cigar. Had a good time and enough snow and crappy weather. Talked to the fish checker fish cop and by that after noon he had checked some 100 + fisherman and only checked 2 fish keepers and knew of a 1/2 doz native released. Any way wanted to say thanks man and if your ever down this way and need anything semd me a private message. I would be more then glad to help.
I am thinking your boy was on cloud 9 with that fish. That is what it is all about.
Congrats man. And if anyone ever wants to know Chrome Junkie is a class act dude.
Go Well and Thanks again
Rut.
