Well its been a long time coming so here's the report.
Went down to the sbh Friday evening for a walk with my son. After my son twisted my arm to bring the rod and reel with us I looked all over the truck and could only find a shrimp colored BH. I figured perfect for the grass bass butt I turned out to be a halibut color that night!
After a few cast I get a backlash and am frustrated with my new reel finally pull the backlash out and start to reel in the line feel wieght at the end of the line set the hook and its on. Turned out to be 26" Hali on the end of the line. Great time out with my son post a pic as soon as I can
