I did that very thing once on the Green River. I was up on a little cliff that was about 8 ft above the river and I hooked a fish that came out from under the bottom of the cliff to take my fly. I called out to some guys floating by on a raft for help but they just laughed at me! I had to do some tricky moves around some trees to get far enough down stream to a spot where I could climb down and land the fish.
Good thing you caught your camera. I dropped mine in the river once and my wife still hasn't forgiven me!
Also, I gave up on looking "pretty" long ago and just go with what works best. For example I leave my nice wood net home and use an ugly metal one that collapses and the handle extends to like 48". I'll bet you wish you had one when you were fighting that fish!
