About My ABU Friend's Fishing
Hi Wayne,
I like your website!
I think Wayne M sent you pics of the fish w/ my ABU Revo.
I caught the Paddletail catfish, using an ABU Revo Winch, w/ 10lb Gamma line. I really like that new reel.
I caught it on Friday, 4/10/09 around 3pm eastern time.
When I hooked the fish I knew I had a hold of no ordinary fish. It meant business!
It took me close to an hour to finally land it.
I did not have a net with me. By the time I got to the end of the fight there was 3 other boats gathered round to see the giant fish.
One of the men in the other boat helped me land it.
I was a 1/4 of a mile away from where I hooked her. My arm hurt for the next 2 days!
Never will forget that fish, wish I could have weighed it. The brute would have
probably been a state record.
Thanks for the interest,
PS
I do have a long term interest in using ABU reels. I am 28 yrs old and my goal is to become a pro bass fisherman. ABU is my reel of choice. I think they are second to none. I want to try and get a sponsorship w/ ABU but not got in contact with the right person yet. I have never used old ABU lures. I will try to get some better photos of the fish and reel. Had to take the pics w/ cell phone but will try to enhance the pics.
