We had given up catching anything, the rain got so bad (after about 10 hours) that we needed Plastic Trash Bags over our wet gear.  On the way back to the boat, LilJoe made one last cast and hooked into this one.  We watched him fight it for a half hour before the fish got tired enough that I got in the river and threw it onto the bank.  We caught a few more.  It's amazing how you forget how cold it is when the fish are biting.
