Sometimes "downhill" is a good thing.......

Fights different than a mountain stream trout, doesn't it brother Lee?

Ready for a grouper run soon?

Waiting on me...your backing up... I have a feeling that it is about to slow to a crawl very soon...

Yes, I may have opted for a nap; and yes, Capt Lee interrupted such nap by jabbing a rod into my dozing hand fully loaded with a similar fish (very rude, I might add)........zzzzzzzzzzzzz, what a way to wake up, eh?!........already into the backing, fully missing the strike, with scoldings from the captain around my "inabilities" to land the fish quickly..........oh, puleeeze.
When he is "ready"......for two or three day searches in odd mountain waters, hunting solely for large trout with small rods on light tippets (maybe 4.5lb test to "his" way of thinking, 5X to me)..........I stand "AT READY". Comparisons are foolish, at best, as each fish in it's own waters provides a separate, and distinct electricity......always something special about bringing large fish to hand from small water. We all remain very blessed at such opportunities. Ya, Mon!!

I remain ready to share, My Captain.......haahahhhh Jim
