Thanks Salheart, I only was wishing at the time that someone with more experience was next to me. It would have helped to calm me down, I was so excited. When that fish sounded, I could'nt budge her off the bottom, I got nervouse and thought for sure I was gonna lose her. I had to strum the line three or four differant times to make headway on her. It took about 25 minutes or so to land her. I will never forget that one, that is for sure.

Todd I needed a spinner so I could get the distance that JP, Slip, and yourself attain. Until I get a lot better with the conventional. I already had an offer on the conventional, however I am determined to become and expert caster with it. Besides it was my first custom rod and it has too much sentimental value.
