Made it out last night after work for a wee bit. Landed one 5"er, missed another strike, and ldr'd a nice fish. Had my 6wt throwing a waker shad at first since last time out fish were rising a lot.... not a touch.... threw on my shooting head and got hit right away but I missed it. Eventually landed the dink then I switched spots. Flogged away a bit more and got a good hit right when the fly swung out (man it felt good... nice drift, and as soon as it straigtened out..bam) Fish took some line and I swung him around but I guess I put too much pressure on him and popped the hook after about 10 secs... never saw the fish but it felt like a nice one...

Man, my 6wt is a skunk of a rod...LOL.... I've totally lost all confidence in landing a fish on it now since I get beat down on it all the time but I know it's not the rod... it's all mental...
