THAT is a beeeuuuutiful fish, and photo! What a fine specimen. Congrats on overcoming the odds, gents. One of the very few stories or experiences I've heard/had regarding a big one bolting. My experience is they don't even know they're hooked, stay deep and PUUUULLL! Perhaps the low water had something to do with it and she immediately sought deeper water (if you caught it shallow)? Would love to hook one and have it take off on a screeming reel.
fly: Very light artificial fly fishing lure of which there are two types: the dry fly which isn't supposed to sink the way it just did; and the wet fly, which shouldn't be floating up on the surface like that. An Angler's Dictionary.
