What would you do if you caught a fish like this?

Many call rainbow trout “steelhead” in the great lakes region since they act much like the steelhead of the west coast.  This “steelhead” is a monster for the great lakes region.  If caught in Washington state it wouldn’t raise an eyebrow but the great lakes fish typically are slightly smaller than their western cousins.  As the case with many folks who don’t fish a lot… he didn’t know he had a record and it ended in the smoker =)
