Slow nightFinally I was able to hear my new fin-nor sing! I got a fin-nor 7500 off shore for Christmas and haven't landed a big fish on it yet.....sad I know. So I was determined to use it last night and I'm not ashamed to say, I love that thing! I started off the evening catching a spanish and some blues, followed by the nearly extinct white trout. It was fun catching fish but I wanted something on the fin nor. Sun starts to go down and bait up the fin-nor. 20lb main line (holds 460 yards) 50lb mono leader and a 4/0 owner circle hook. I threw on a slab of mullet hoping for a bull red. After about 2 hours of waiting for someting big.....it finally happened. She was about 40" long and was released right after the photo.

yeah the reel's caught some smaller fish but I wanted something to put it to the test. I really wanted to feel how smooth the drag is.......man it was awesome. Can't wait till I hook into a nice 5' shark.
