I remember a show of Jerry's where he caught a 20+ lb brown trout on 4lb test line. It was a pretty old show for he was younger and the boat was not anywhere near as modern as todays boats. He was fishing somewhere in the midwest with some guy and it drizzled rain and sleet all day long. It took forever for him to land this fish but he was as happy as a lark when it got in the net. He was backreeling most of the time as they was chasing it with the trolling motor to help him keep up with the fish. Fought it like a champ and I was rooting for him to land it because you could really tell he was so over excited to hook the fish much less land her.
