>>161513230 pounds is the high end of fish for both salmon and pike, and definitely for steelhead. I fish all three and the reason I do that instead of haul up the massive cats that I know I could easily catch is because I like ripping spinners or drifting and twitching jigs instead of waiting on my ass for my line to get pulled out. The way I fish I hardly spend more than a half hour in a spot, as long as I can keep moving I do. I can't imagine waiting all day in one spot and not even casting and retrieving. Casting has become so much of the fun that I just cast to cast sometimes.
