Dad, Tao, Ian, and I got in the car in the darkness of 6am to head up to Redding to go fishing. It turned out to a be a beautiful day to be on the river, high 70's low 80's light breeze. It was just the four of us in two boats each with a guide, Me and Dad with the main guide, and Tao and Ian with Chris. Right off the bat i caught a fish, a rare thing to happen so quickly. It was a fat sucker fish, but still a fish that made it all the way to the boat. The day continued and Dad kept losing his fish before he could reel them into the boat.
The highlight of the day was when I caught a Steelhead. It took me 10-15 min to reel it in. It kept running and fighting. This was the first time I caught a fish with fight like this. When I finally got it to the boat we had floated quite a bit away for Tao and Ian's boat and Ian was the only one with a camera, so he has to long distance shot of me landing this 7 pound fish.
This is what it looked like, a bit brighter, and head a bit uglier. But it was a big fish. I'm use to landing maybe a 12ft rainbow this was twice as big and weight at least 3 times as much. It was cool.
