Enclosed is a picture of my 257.2 # Yellowfin caught by me ( Louie Marzari ) on my new Avet Pro Ex 30 2 speed. It was caught on February 2nd 2007 on the Independence on 80# line, in the outer waters of Clarion Island. The bait was a Mackeral. I started out with 22 # of drag at strike and had to make several drag adjustments to get the fish to the boat from upswell in a mild wind. I ended the fight with 37# of drag at full to get it to gaff. The rod was an old Sabre, rated at 40-100 # test, which was "bottomed out" most of the fight because I was in the "Praying to the Tuna Gods" position (kneeling) a good portion of the fight. The hook was a Hayabusa 6 0 tied on with a single San Diego knot and I used a short piece of 80# Fluorocarbon as a leader. The Avet reels really do the job!

Would you look at those two old fuckers! Wish I could have make the trip with you guys. Glad to hear Wayne got a cow. How many cows did you catch in your first year of LR fishing? I figure you're at 6 or more.

On 02-17-07, I (Dave Duenas) was in San Quintin, down in baja and decided to charter a panga with Tiburon sportfishing! The weather was outstanding! It was flat calm with a small breeze if that. The enclosed photos are of a 12 lb. ling caught on a mackerel approximately 5 miles straight out from the bay, as well as, a string of reds and various other photos that day. The gear I used was an AVET JX 6/3 - 2 speed reel with 40 lb. test and a GRAPHITE USA 85 MONSTER MAG ROD- custom made by DAN RIVAS at DAN'S CUSTOM RODS in La Puente. We were only in a 150 ft. of water. The fishing in San Q. is rediculously plentiful right now. I limited out on REDs and Caught a few Lings. Its winter, but it must have been atleast 78-80 degrees that day. All and all, it was a fantastic outing. I must also give a hand to my Captain- Elias. Elias has approx. 30 years experience fishing these waters and it shows, what a nice man.

PLEASE DISREGARD THE DATES ON THE PHOTOS, MY GIRLFRIEND DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO CHANGE IT TO THE CURRENT DATE. I'LL PROVIDE PROOF IF NEEDED.

I can't say enough about AVET reels, they're AWESOME! WHETHER ITS ON THE INDEPENDENCE FISHING COW TUNA OR IN SAN QUINTIN, AVET REELS GET IT DONE!!
