Nahhhh---this story is plenty good. I could easily see myself in the same boat because I have been there. Annoyed at the chub, annoyed at myself for missing out on the bigger fish attacking the chub but finally getting one more chance---and it almost worked. If you had waited longer you would have had to harvest that particular trout---which may have been your goal. For me, you played it perfectly and that is what makes it a great story.
