I'm assuming looking at your list of rods and reels Rig you would refer to yourself as a "tackle whore"

Agree with Russ, good fish on a rod that sounds like it should have been retired a long time ago!

A catch like that is not "luck"!

Sun, 2011-04-24 08:27

People get fish like that through lots of hard work and perseverance, great result! Something very few will ever achieve. Hey, that JW rod wasn't part of that $500 deal on gumtree, was it
