Saturday was an absolute blast. The scenario in which I caught the tagged fish is the reason I switched from warm water species to trout. Over the course of 30 minutes, that fish ate half of a jar of eggs, spit the hook twice, and broke me off once. All visible through a six inch diameter window. Once hooked (for the fourth time), it battled for a good 5 minutes before I finally iced the critter. One of my best fights to date.
To work on a fish for that long, watch it behave in its own environment, hook it and lose it multiple times, and then actually ice it rivals any adrenaline rush I've ever experienced while bowhunting giant deer. The difference is that all your friends are standing next to you cheering you on.
...Definitely a good day to be alive
