One of my friends here will get it and hopefully laugh.

Thanks man.

It’s a Streamer-AKA Housatonic Rods- rod. 8’ light 4 wt. with wet and dry tips. Picked a pocket that only has larger fish in it this time of the year in the evening when March Browns are on the water. For 3 years I’ve hooked and lost in the adjacent fast water some 20” plus fish. This guy was 16/17” and tried for the fast water. I probably would have lost him with many of my other rods that don’t have enough give over the length of the rod to slow and adsorb those powerhouse runs to the faster water. The fish was bigger and more colorful than the pictures show. The bluish streak went way down his cheeks. Next couple of nights if I have time I will go after his big brother.
Caught a lot of smaller fish mostly wild that night. One looked just like that one. Same spot pattern only 8” or so However. Very pleasant night.
