Well done guys, not so far from the record.
The present world record steelhead was caught in the Hoh river, Washington, USA by a gentleman named Peter Harrison on a spey rod. The giant officially weighed in at 29.5 pounds. and is recognized by the International Game Fish Association as the new world record steelhead.

The previous world record for 8 kg tippet was a 28-pound fish caught by Chuck Stephens on the Skeena River on 20 October 1985, 24 years ago.
