The End of the Pool: Went trout fishing today

Went trout fishing today

I never thought this would happen to me.To hooked a bright steelhead on a single egg hook while casting for trout. Well today was the day. A thunder storm was heading my way and I kept saying "last cast" for about 10 minutes. Then I had a bite and then, the rod got torqued, and then the fish came out of the water, she was bright chrome and full of what ever it takes to get to where she was. And then, snap as she jumped for the last time. My line went slack and it was over, my only witness was a guy in a drift boat who saw the hole thing right before his eyes.
