I have many more shots, but can only post these.
According to Gary, all went good with his upgrades, I'll let him fill in the rest.

Nice?
What reel is that? It looks like a GTi without the top bar.

My guess is that the reel is a Daiwa 300H because it's topless and doesn't have harness lugs. That's impressive. Very Nice fish..

I know you meant to say 900H bill  ;).

 The reel that my comment was about is in the middle fish photo. It's different than the reel on the test stand with the cannon balls in the first photo. Either way still a very nice fish.. :)
