Look closely at the handle, the first one sheered off and another was put on the broke in two, I finished with a pair of 12 inch vice grips. Girth and I were skip jigging Tady9's at Clipperton, I tried to hand it off but no one want to try, it taped out at 185lbs, its dark cause it was hooked at sundown, Girth lost a nice one as well. The reel was 5.3 ratio with 60lb mono, I did not want the higher gear ratio for attemping this stunt. By the way the fish tore me a new asshole.
You like the chrome treatment - that's your "grown man gear" right there. I've got a Tahoe - I think my head would stick out the sunroof of a PT cruiser - Spike would fit just fine.
Enjoy your trip - I put the good word in with Andy and the boys on prepping your stateroom.
thats it, I'm sleeping in the galley
And that cracked me up the day I saw that PT on the 405, glad it wasnt you bro
