Caught my first trout today

[Knothead]

he might as well been 5 pounds

Give him time. That gives you an excuse to keep going back.
There is a carp fishing organization that told of a large carp in Europe that had been caught numerous times over the years. A record of its growth was kept up until the fish went to that Great Pond in the Sky.

Tight Lines,

I tell you, I couldn't have been more impressed by that rod. It made me feel like a pro caster, even with the wind gusts.
