Read the first post... and just enter all the info as a new reply to this thread.

And remember folks, the pictures that win will be used in advertising for Avet.
Think about that!!! If we don't get a picture we feel is good enough for an Ad then there won't be a winner that month!

PM me if ya have any questions...

Later Stan

Caleb (age 14) caught this nice grade Albie 90 - 100 miles out of San Diego on July 3rd while fishing with his dad & little brother. This fish and many others were caught with a AVET SX on a Shimano butterfly rod. The reel was spooled with 20 lb Izorline. Perfect outfit for youth fishing. After some talk about how small the outfit was by the end of the trip it was amazing how many people wanted to see it, hold it, use it. The heavy backbone of the rod with the perfect drag on the AVET SX put a hurt on the fish in less time than those older gents with their "big gear"

Caleb (age 14) on July 2nd abord the Grande, fishing about 75 miles out of San Diego with an Avet SX and Shimano Butterfly Rod. Easy to handle, outcasts and outperforms the others. Perfect for children, ladies or anyone who likes a high quality set up. Dad even got to use it a couple of times before the boys got up. Spooled with 20 lb Izorline this outfit was constantly bit during the pick part of the day.

Joshua (age 11) on a 2 1/2 day trip aboard the Grande out of Point Loma sportfishing on July 2 & 3. Hooked up again on his Avet SX; spooled with 20 lb Izorline and Shimano Butterfly Rod. The SX performed flawlessly, fish after fish after fish! When the Albie starts his death circle, button down the drag and short pump it to the surface before he gets a second wind.

I at the last second decided to go on the Red Rooster trip number 6 it was Couch Beefers trip and eight day. We left to go down to the rocks but first stopped for a few Albys.When we got to the Rock I started by trolling my favorite Murader and with it attached to my Avet 402 with 80 lb. line I got my first Wahoo. Then I took out my Avet LX with forty pound line and soaked a sardine to pick up what would become second place in the jack pot with a 89 lb. of yellow fin tuna. When we went to the ridge for a little yellow tail fishing I went to my Avet JX with 50lb line and fished a MC swim bait in white and slammed a yellow that won me the first yellow caught with a jig so all in all My Avets worked perfect and I had a great time fishing and never thought about my reels ever giving me any trouble because they were AVETS Thanks the Oldmanfishing

This is not a monster fish, but thought you guys might enjoy seeing something different. East Coast cobia caught off virginia's eastern shore (near va beach) 4th of July week, by me. 1 of 4 on the day, all of which hit the same rod. Reel is a JX 6/3 60lb jb,40lb mono top.

This ~35 Yellow Fin Tuna was caught by my friend Dan Schneider on his skiff off Kona, HI on the 4th of July (his birthday) using an Avet SX20 with 20lb test. We were returning to the harbor and had just pulled in our lures after a nice trip down south when we saw a huge school of Yellow Fin Tuna busting on the surface. Dan deployed this pink worm lure that we usually use to catch bait and had a nice battle to get this fish to the boat.
