Reel Repair by Alan Tani

If you have a couple of these around you'd like to sell, pls PM me.  It's the silent dog with the clip that makes contact with the ratchet.
Thanks.

Blackfish season is closed until Autumn so it's time to get it clean and do some upgrades. A good buddy gave me a green power handle and some suggestions from here. I am getting ready to take it apart.

I have never seen channel cats that large, verry impressive.

Very nice! This is a Black Tank! 

Looks like fun, nice trip!

  Those are Channel Cats. The males turn a blue/grey color during the spawn...often being mistaken for Blue Catfish.

Quote from: Bryan Young on Today at 04:35:40 AMI was hoping you guys were going to swing by San Jose on you way back. Next time.

If I was driving I would have Bryan, Mike and Rick had 6 and 7 more hours to go to get home.
