Default got a good one in the Po

Hit the river yesterday AM, cold, grey, and slow. Fished for 45 minutes without a bite. Said to myself "this is my last cast". Put on a fresh fathead and casted it out. Get to the end of the drift and WHAM I get slammed and the fish starts running. Of coarse I am using 2 pound test and the fish is screaming drag, I say to myself "don't touch the drag, let him run". After a 15 minute fight of give and take I land a sweet 20 inch rainbow! It was the only fish I caught, but one that I will not soon forget.

Steve,
What happened ? Did they forget to stock that barrel that you were fishing in
