Second Chance

[flatcreek]

Hit the Pohat for a couple hours today. Gin clear water and a beautiful day. But what made it great for me is after hooking this big rainbow on a egg and playing him for a minute or two ( I had got phone out to get some pics of bringing him in) he broke off. I went around to the other side of the hole and took a couple cast with a gulp minnow because I knew there was a least one other fish in the hole, but not anything pushing 20 inches like this one. Well low and behold I hooked up again and it was the same fish and there was my first hook in his lip and inch or so behind the 2 inch gulp minnow and my second hook. How many times do you get a second chance at a fish like that so I give him a second chance to, took both hooks out and let him swim away, never took him out of the water. I'll see if I can't get him on a couple more times.
