This big buck inhaled a Maxi-Jig below my wife Eileen's bobber. After releasing this one I also hooked and released a wild hen. We were fishing in the Bridgeport area on the upper Columbia.

Here is a hefty hen steelhead ready for release. It was hooked by Rollie Schmitten of Lake Wenatchee near the bridge at Pateros. I got one later on the Methow, it was wild, too.
