Got it the first time on a Thursday then again two times on the following monday. Great fight each time and my buddy lost it at the bank between the two times I got it the one day. All of this in a big river with a huge run. Fish was brought in on 8lb leads and ten feet of water each time and revived in fast water.
this shot was from the other side of the fish but its the same one

NIce fish ditch. That fish is very much attracted to your bait.

I just surprises me especially the last day. After being hooked twice, (one time the hook popped at the end of the fight) he takes the bait again and burns three of my fingers going on a 125yr run. He apparently has a fondness for whole dew worms and big orange beads lol
For me this is another slight justification of my fish handling and release methods. I don't think it would have made it the 200m back upstream and begin feeding again if I miss handled it. I also got the pleasure to tussle with this fish multiple times.
