Went out to cast for some walleye by myself this morning. I started on the south side of cone reef but the area was loaded with white perch so I moved to the north side of west sister island. I was probably a mile off the island. I fished about 3 hours and picked up 2 nice eyes and got two shorts. I said to myself at 11:30 one more cast. I was using an 18 count and I started my count. I don’t think I got to 4 and something grabbed my spinner and took off. I closed the bail on my reel and the line instantly came tight and a silver rocket flew out of the water. I eventually got it in and it turned out to be a steelhead about 20 inches long. I’ve heard of people catching them but I have never seen one in person. I can’t imagine catching a 20 pounder on a rod like I was using.
