Snip nice TR

Snake,

There are, IMO, few creatures in all of God's creations more beautiful
than a brook trout.

it *was* stunning beyond my expectations. i wish i could have held it much
longer and really taken in the spectrum of colors in the speckles, and
examine more closely it's fins that were virtually glowing like an orange
sunset. i was also unprepared for how soft the fish would feel, he was
perfectly smooth.
i got a good look inside it's mouth, as it held it wide open while i was
removing the hook, and could nearly see down it's throat.while i was in
there, i felt the teeth- kind of like a serrated knife.
then, when i put this gorgeous finned creature back in the water, he swam
away slowly, and looked almost magical. as i said, i was totally
unprepared....

Congrats.

thanks ;-)

Now YOU are hooked.

indeed.......
