Take a look at the head and mouth, it looks like a brown to me. I had an old timer ID it for me when I caught it because I wasn't 100% sure what it was and he said it was a female brown. I can tell for sure that it was not a steelhead, but maybe a salmon?

Looks like a steelhead or rainbow to me, dark male.
Nice job!
It was a female brown. Got a bunch of roe for drifting egg sacs from her

Hit it like a missile about 10 yards from shore. Fought like a 7+ bass

Right from shore in the marina. That was the first fish I've ever caught out of there.

Here are a couple of pics of my first brown trout ever. Caught it on a S-Waver 168 lite trout. 5.15 pounds. Anyone else fishing for great lakes trout/salmon?

Thanks again Branden!

Thanks. Do you use the Eric Aske method for dealing with the toothy critters?
-
Branden, what type of line do you use with the magnum cranking rods?
-
Thanks guys. I forgot to mention that I plan on using braid connected to a 50-60 lb fluoro leader via an FG knot. I figured having the softer rod would allow the bait to have a better action while still using braid as a main line. I have been using a St. Croix Mojo Bass swimbait rod and got far better action out of the s-waver when I switched from braid to mono. I just don't like the mono as much for connecting to the heavy fluoro leader as the braid via the FG knot.

Does anyone have experience using this or other glass/graphite composite cranking rods with S-Waver 168s or similar weight class glide baits? I'd be getting the 7'11" MH rod rated for 1/2-3 oz.
Thanks

I've thrown 6 inch hudds and 68 specials as well as s-waver 168s in Milwaukee and have caught/called up several browns, salmon and steelhead
