And probably much like you did - I floated in my Ride 115 throwing TMs / CMs - (except I was running down the Harpeth)

mostly catching small stuff and I learned a HARD lesson about 2 lb test :

Ya gotta use a net.

A 2.5-3 lb smallie broke my line at the last second - just as I tried to pull him in the boat without lipping him and he gave one last big squirm. I HAD him - or so I thought

But I just love a tight line - so even small ones are still fun

Yep....didn't take me long to heed the advice of the owner of Trout Magnet...."Using 2# test line, net everything". I lost a few fish until I took that advice. You did notice that 7 inch Gill in a net...LOL.
