Good to see you again Betty
Sorry again that I missed out on Sunday.
Yes, that was great fish. My best trout ever in fact! I hooked a good one not much before that but didn't fight it aggressively. It kind of walked me and came free. Standing out there on the ladder gives you some time to think about those kind of things (

), so when I hooked this one I gave it some stick and angles. Still hadn't see him, but while he'd fairly given in when I stepped off the ladder, he was still arcing around strongly. I was pretty tentative getting it around the ladder, but made the back stepping to shore without much bother until he got shallow. He gave a couple good slashes, and my heart started to really pump. Grabbed him in the shore break and believe me I had a good grip on that tail! Greg was up snacking on one of his rare breaks. "Uh Greg, can you give me a hand for a second?" "Huh? sure" I made him take an extra pic just in case. Released for another day. I even called my mom that night
