West end santa cruz island
MXJ 2 speed with cast control
july 2 2009
Fishing the west end of the island in windy conditions this seabass hit a green back mackrel in 70ft of water.This fish made some great runs,I thought we had hooked anouther seal at first.After a few minutes it was clear I had a nice fish on.The avet was smooth as silk.From 300lb tuna and 800lb Marlin to 40lb seabass and halibut the avets never let me down.
reel : MXJ ! my vote here for performance and accomplishment, then of course that little gal in pink for accomplishment at that age.
Here is a photo of my Son who caught 4- 30lber Giant Squid with an Avet 4/02W...Thank god we decided to use the 100lb gear. Because those squid kicked our ass's.
Winner will be announced today or tomorrow!! Thank you everyone for all of the great stories and photos! July is proving to be just as tough to choose as ever!!
The August Contest is up and running so get out there and get to work!!

Ok, this was by far the toughest one since I've taken over the job of running this contest... But, with no further delay I'd like to announce the winner as MTNBOATER and his daughter's pig of a ling. This one came down to photo composition folks. My hats off to all of the runners up. Get out there and get fishin' for August!
