Ok, heres the pictures.... 2 35# albacore...

And my toad that busted 3 guides from my Seeker Blacksteel...
I had my 25# rod with a Penn 975 in the holder while I gaffed one of Dons fish, it goes off, so I put it in gear and the fish wraps around the prop and takes off... I try to clear it and the rod get bent up under the motor and looks like it's at a 90 degree angle... When I pull it out 3 of my guides pop off...
Now I'm down to my spectra backing .. but the fish is still on, 1 more flick of the gaff on the line and it's free... with the fish still on!!!!!
Boated my biggest of the day... the 35#'s seen above...
Guess this rods heading back to Squidco...
Don/ Humble one was one and landed a Very nice limit...
Met up with Lee and Papa J on the HL II.... man she is a beauty! and thanks for the handoff on the dines!
