Thanks fellas - that's why I like this forum its much more interactive than the rest. I think Ty made a great point on keeping the bag over the side and Dale is right on with having to play it out a bit more. I did redeem myself a bit w/ 2 -37's last Fri & Sat and my partner had 42/37/35. (2 on figure 8s) So we had an awesome 2 days up in Hayward. I did loose another good one that was on for a minute then off again.

My drag is always cranked down - do you guys ever loosen it a little if a fish is taking a hard run away from you??
