Sometimes I wonder if you guys actually read some of these. I was on this board as godzilla but we bought a house in Puyallup and I couldn't get back on under my old login, so I reregistered under my boat name, redsharks. I noticed you guys tend to keep to your little groups but if you're interested, I caught a 200lb striped marlin with a 500 jig master 30lb test fought it for two minutes. It blew the drags and shattered the gears. Talk about hell at sea. I also caught a 150lb blue fin. That was the best fight of my life (so far). No salmon or steelehead could equal that anyday. Would like to get to know you guys better. We may see each other out on the rivers I'm the one with the red truck with a black roof rack. It would be good to talk to you guys in more depth than just this site. I usually fish on Fridays and Saturdays. See you out there.
