Congrats on your catch. I’m just the opposite on the short rods. I do not particularly like using them from a boat. I have a number of very nice ones and when I bought them I was wade fishing tree lined banks. After my move I came to the conclusion that my wade fishing days are over. Of course I will try them in my new boat when it is ready. It is going to fish different than my old boat. As you observed I did feel more control with the short rods when hooking into larger trout.
