Delayed Harvest

Well I headed up yesterday for a half day of fishing. Fishing was extremely slow. I did manage to get the skunk off early in the day. About half way through the section I was fishing I hooked into about a 20 inch bow. When I lifted the rod tip he barely moved. But soon after the hook up he rolled over my line snapping the 7x. I caught a few fish through the day, the biggest being around 16-17". I was fishing a 3 weight with 7x and a squirmy wormy. Welp headed back up again in a few minutes, maybe I'll catch a beast.
