As a matter of fact it did. In the fall I was fishing on my home water and on this particular day I was having a great day catching many small wild browns on top....not expecting much more than that, I was casting as I walked upstream, looking at the ground and structure near the waters edge and saw my slate drake get sucked under. I set the hook and all hell broke loose. After a few minutes...without a camera, I hoped someone would come by to see the size of the fish I had on line. And then it occurred to me...if the wrong person saw it, they'd be there with a can of green giant niblets in no time. So I landed it, admired it for a few seconds and slid it back into the water. It went 19" and about 3 lbs. with shoulders and a big kype, not to mention the red fins in spawning splendor.
The picture of that fish will be with me for a while.
