Good shit Noel
You worked hard enough for it mate, really pleased you got one eventually. Too many near misses thoughout the day for you not to connect, was on the cards from about 11. That's a seriously fresh looking grilse, did it leave any scales either on you or the net?
I'd give it about 4lb, wait until you get one thre times that size on that on your 7wt, did it go well?
Will get a picture of mine up in the next day or two although it's a bit of a minger compared to yours.
Cheers
Ben
