Say What?
Nobody used the Tank? :o Oh, The Humanity! They missed out on a sweet little powerhouse of a reel. ::)
That's all I have to say about that. :P

Oh that sucks, I thought Alan left it! As it turned out, I used it's older brother, a Newell YTS with 4:1 Pro Gears and all sorts of stainless stuff from here. Loved it. If anyone thinks a model 27 Monofil built to the hilt with a Tib frae is silly, they haven't caught a YT with one, I loved it.

Ron: You rocked that little reel  ;D But I think my favorite moment of the trip is when you pulled up your boot straps and no matter how bad you were feeling you caught that Ray  ;D ;D ;D That sucker dragging you side to side on the back of the boat was a blast to watch!!! If I remember correctly that reel you used was one you built? You kept trying to hand it off but we all just said no and cheered you on  ;D I am glad we all have someone like you protecting us. Thank you.

it was out and i think everyone knew.  most guys had smaller reels. 
That would have been my choice if I was there, maybe next time. :-\
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

That 27 was my way of avoiding an Avet SX...wanted to NOT go with the "herd" and still be "made in the U.S.A." Glad you enjoyed using it! Your YT means that it brought in a total of THREE YT.  ;D  It's a success!

Opened up the right side yesterday and inspected the 13-200 pinion...there was no observable wear from when I installed it. It's ready to go for the 2015 Alan Tani Charter!!!  ;)

Look forward to see the pics from your 27 build.

If you just bring yourself it will make the trip better, I enjoyed fishing and chanting with you even if you were always Wong.  The same can be said of everyone on the trip.

Yeah, pretty cool Lee  I heard you chanting "get the gaff, get the gaff."  Way to go.  You can use that chant during your yoga classes.   :D Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

That was a lot of fun. Especially when it came back after I thought I lost it. The reel was my Tuna Special w/60 on it.
Thank you all for the opportunity to serve.

Thank you Alan for this unforgettable trip!  Couldn't have gone out with a better group of guys.  No anger, everyone calm and cool even while lines getting tangled, everyone using toilet seats properly  :)

Big Tim!  You got a heart of gold.  I still owe you one!  Here is your sunset photo!
