Single-Handed

Gainst all the odds the trout was landed
And brought to table single-handed.
In pride a record fresh was set,
Line drawn, swish fish its mistress met.
Here by the riverside lay stranded
A seven pounder scaled and banded.
Rod raised amazed, no annals yet
Could boast the record inked and wet.
Unequalled was sure skill she showed,
Surprise replied with pride that glowed.
