Be sure to check the drag before hand. I went on a guided trip a couple weeks ago down the N. Platte River. My first cast into the first seam, produced a monster hookup. Easily would have been the largest fish of the day. But I hadn't verified my drag setting before that cast, and the drag was way loose. As a result, it cost me a trophy size rainbow. So just a remember, before you cast, check the drag!

Other than that, it was a stellar day fishing!
