Nice fish. :headbang: That was probably a heck of a fight on a 4 wt. That rod had to be doubled over at times. Amazed you got it in for a pic.

Nice one, Will.

I have a small pond about 100 yards from my back door and am always taking my fly rod down there to practice casting. I've caught several 8-10 pound channel cats on a 6wt. fly rod. You're right, they can wear you out fighting. I can imagine on a 4wt. They always demolish my hooks!
