It's not so much the fish, as the story from late last summer.
I had fished to this Big Elk Creek Cutthrout a week earlier and could not get him to take a fly.
The next time I was in the area, I hiked a couple miles into where I had seen him. I sat on a gravel bar for a little over two hours hoping he would rise when the green drake hatch started. Finally, he did. Gave him about a minute after his first rise, put a green drake dun right in his feeding lane about fifteen feet above his position, got a perfect drift, and hooked up on the first cast.

The fish are always right.
I don't have many to choose from, so here's one from my "archives". Boy I look young!

How about this full-spawn Silver Salmon from Buskin Lake outside of Kodiak, Alaska. Hooked around 3-dozen fish and only landed this one. 36-inches and fighting mad. I built the rod for the trip and this was the biggest fish I landed with it. What a memory.

How did it close its mouth with the jaws like that?

Whether you think you can, or think you cannot, you're probably right.
