Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

DwDwight can't wait! I believe the record mango was caught this past year right in my fishing grounds,in 130 ft on natural bottom.I have this 501 reel ready for my light jigging set up.this 99 size 505 with a jig master fiberglass rod will be my mango Rod and reel.  Mangoooooooo

Those will be nice mango reels especially up in the water flat lining. My Newell 540 3.2 will always be my go to bottom reel for mangos. Wish we had time to go out to deeper water but we are stuck in the 80 ft range. I have 17-8 mango mounted on the wall that is larger than the current registered record. Caught while fishing on the old Sea Love about 18 years ago. Biggest since then has been 14-8.

Looks like you are ready Jamie! ;D

Dwight,

Now thats why they call you...

'The Mango Man'

Hope springs eternal
for the consumate fishermen.

Caught it flat lining with a Shimano TLD 15 on a no name custom rod and 30 lb mono, 5/0 hook and a squid head. Squid heads are hard to beat when flat lining for mangos. Lee Lingo was the captain and Bryan Pinkley gaffed it.
Weighed on certified scales at King's Seafood. 17-8
I still have the rod and reel but they don't fish anymore.

That's a stud for sure! I bet you there's some 20 pounders  out there.

Nice trophy Mango Man ;), it appears to be 25" in length.

Pretty clever my paisano.   :-* 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.

Jamie, I know there is are bigger ones out there and if had the funds I would have my own boat out there all summer chasing a bigger one.
