Nailed my second river fish ever this morning!!! A 11-12 pound Hooknose silver. I was using a lightweight 7 foot trout rod. Needless to say it was difficult getting it out of the rapids. What a blast!!! Don't have a clue what I did right. Just felt like I hooked bottom, gave a little tug to release it and away he went dragging me all over the river. Took pictures on a throw away camera and will post later.

Mid river.

Went to the carbon the other night and will not return after seeing the snag fest. Made me sick to my stomach.
