I got my butt absolutely kicked by a big'un Saturday night. I'd probably caught 50 lbs of steelhead one smolt at a time, but hadn't hooked up once with the real deal until about sundown when I thought I'd hooked the bottom for the 100th time... and then the bottom started to move. I played the fish (or rather, it played me) a good 15 minutes before it finally had enough and said c-ya. My 5 wieght works fine on them little 5- 8 pounders, but by the looks of this one it might have been a B-run that snuck through- definitely a double digit fish and I couln't do anything with my little baby trout rod. AWESOME experience.
By the way. I'm looking to get a 8 or 9 weight set up now. Anybody got one they'd like to trade for a bunch of fly gear/ i have what's left of a fly-shop that went under in my garage and I could trade a ton of tieing gear or flies, lines, etc.
