Nice fish Grant.

Is it just me,or is that one strange looking strain of steelhead?

[GLF]

That steelhead looks like a bullet with a set of jaws.

I was too busy tonight to get that tutorial done. It will be a couple of days before I can get to it. Hang in there!

[TopDawG]

you look better with a hat on! nice fish too, doubt I will do any fishing before I head to Frankfort Thursday night. Talk to you later

I have never seen a steelhead with that large of a mouth, looks like it belongs on a king.

Nice fish

I think this fish mist the dinner plate a few times in his life:lol: He should had a lot bigger body to go with his head as a male, NOTE he was trying to catch up, he 10- bloater chubs in his belly, at first I thought he was some cross breed Steelhead, and his meat was White not pink:confused:.

I sent Rick (Cork Dust) a msg to check this fish out. He has some great insight on this type of thing.

Nice fish! Your right, at first glance I thought that steelhead was a king til you look closer! Strange stuff, but nice fish none the less. Imagine if the body did catch up to the head, holy big fish!

[A-Fishy-Anado]

The head looks similar to this Lake superior Brown caught near munising

Grant, Nice Job out of HB. I haven't been there in awhile.

[jimcr]

its a mutant fish, Do you still have the head , I would like a close up of that.

[Grant Sadler]

Jim; I don't have it in my hands or possion but it may be in the frezzer at the cleaning station I will check, what do you mean by that name of fish Mutant , and what type of picture do you want ? let me know:cool:

[jimcr]

Just that it looks really different, if you don't have it that ok , just wanted to do a little research on why the head would get so big . If it possibly crossed breaded. Or if its just genetics.

In the great lakes you do get the occasional deformed fish, but wow that one has a massive head. My guess is that it spawned last spring and stayed in the stream a little too long. If that is the case it would explain the white meat. I have caught steelhead in the rivers in mid July and they almost always have white meat unless they are skamania.

[snowfish]

Nice fish and pics! The larger head one looks to have x type marks on back, not sure with not a close up pic. Could be an underfed Atlantic? All the steel I've caught on eastside of state from Ausable down to PA have had orange meat in past, and Atlantic my buddy caught this past spring off Tawas had lighter colored meat. Nice catch regardless.
