Over the holidays

[thepeacockspecial]

Over the holidays, I went back home to visit the family, and ended up having some time by myself. I decided to visit a river fairly close to my parents house. I started the day with a 4wt rod.. spent an hour losing multiple fish. These guys would pull my line so deep, my indicator goes missing along with a few feet of my fly line.. Got my ass whooped pretty bad.. so I went back to the car.. and setup the big gun... the switch rod. I was finally able to land fish after the switch was loaded and going. Spent a good 2.5 hours there then everything just died down. Had 1 wild buck for the day along with multiple planters that have been there for a long time. I had a video of me hooking a fish, fighting it, set the camera down.. and all you hear is.. "Fuhk".. but I'm ashamed of it. lol. So here are a few photos and videos.
