Fish story - Jimmy Houston (Kass) really set some hooks, missing some strikes.   We also rolled what appeared to be a really nice fish after floating past a small pocket of water and Kass and I thinking she had snagged on the bottom.  Once she threw a few roll casts at it to try and dislodge it, there was a big splash and a big fish that jumped as well as her flies coming free.
