My Yukon is in the shop right now getting a new fuel pump, shaft seal, and heater valve. Kinda bummed since this is the 2nd fuel pump in about 2 years. Truck was bucking around 50 - 60 mph and increasingly harder to start - 3 turns. Noticed coolant level dropping which was the leaky heater valve. If this fixes it I should have something to tow with. If not it doesn't look good for this weekend....buddies truck has issues also...

if your looking for a cheap decent large reel to use occasionally for the monsters go with a diawa 900h can get a decent used one on ebay for around 40-50 bucks. they hold up pretty good, i have two for shark fishing and they handle as well as my senator 114 6/0, just be prepared to spend another 50 or more filling those bad boys with line.. I been too busy to get the boat prepped to head out of Rudy. but the fish are still there

I saw on OIFC.com that the BFT season has been closed by the NMFS so it is catch and release as of 1-22-12 at 2330 hrs.

BR, I don't thing you were supposed to go with all that happening to you.
