Water heater pilot won't stay on

Posted by Michael Walker, on
Water heater went out,... I go through the steps for re-lighting it, and she gets spark, and a decent size blue flame,... so all that works. After I wait even over a minute, of holding the gas button down, and allow it to pop up, the flame just dies out,... that'd be my "Thermocouple" on the fritz, am I correct?
