What a great guide you found. They are priceless really when they are reasonable and competent, which the vast majority are. Worth EVERY penny. Great Brown to open with.
I was similarly shocked on a fishing trip in Arizona, when I was using a 6' 6" 4 wt. rod on a small creek. I had repeatedly made the same cast and at the end of the last drift, I hooked what seemed to be an underwater tree root. Frustrated at the thought of losing a favorite fly, I gave a mean jerk on the rod and felt the 'root' vibrate on the line, as snagged tree roots sometimes do tremble in the current. Then it took off running all over the deepest part of this small pool on this ridiculously small creek! I luckily had a strong tippet and I braced this tiny rod to keep it from breaking. After 15 minutes, I landed a 19" brown! Probably one of the biggest fish in the stream and I was pumped for two full days afterwards.
