Am I evil for busting out laughing at the end? That was an awesome reaction.
Looks like he got acrobatic at the end and worked it lose. Hell of a fight though.

That was a bummed deal. Been there and done that more than once. Looked like it put up a pretty good fight.

I was right on top of him in the water too.. I could have kicked him if I wanted too.. I was just frustrated and felt like chasing his ass I guess.. I don't know just a natural pissed off action... lucky I didn't draw and start putting rounds in the water after him hahahahaha

I gotta say, you're pretty spry. Of course I don't think that there's a one of us that hasn't had that happen or haven't tried to dive in after one. Heck, Raincatcher almost dove in on my first steelhead.

Great fight. I had that happen to me once, but I had a net. So I ran out and netted it because it was just sitting in slack water. As i was walking back to shore, steelhead in net, it flops out of the net and jets back into the river, never to be seen again. Good times

Great video...I laughed too.... It does suck though but like you said it feeds the addiction

As the saying goes, "It's better to have hooked and lost then to not have hooked up at all". I've been there a few times too...with the same reaction.
