Preferred Cattin' Reel??

[DARK30]

I suppose I'll put in a plug for the Penn. I did buy a 7000 this last year and its a great piece of machinery although I still prefer my 320GT2 for the heavy duty situation. Set this reel on a pool cue (I use it on an old E-Cat), spool it with 65# Power Pro and you could pull Mad Max off his seat in the outhouse with it.

The 7000 performed well up at Stu's Playground this year. Those big channels in that swift current will test your rig for sure. Someday I might have to get one of those bait runner spinning reels and put it on a longer rod for going the circle hook route.....Brian (Mr. I DA Man) and the "Angler Formerly Known as Fishhead" (Dennis Steele) will attest to the effectiveness of this system I'm sure. Oh and by the way...Next time you guys start getting the urge to eat the cut bait and share a little spit on the boat, you can drop me off on shore. And then theres Manny (Mr. Blacksportsman). He gets a cold hard slap from a big channel....I'm not sure I want to know why either. I just hope it was a girl fish. Remember guys...I got it all on video!

At least there was no flamingo pink line being used.....although I didn't dare look in Brian's tackle box to see.

Dark, did you make copies of that video?

If you are having a hard time...and can get it on to VHS...or just bring the camera over...I can burn a few for ya.

The clip of Manny getting nailed by the cat's tail will become a classic! (Sorry Manny, but that was awesome!)

WHACK!

I did manage to get some clips onto a cd but theres not enough room for all of it. They told me when I bought this $2,000 computer that putting my mini dv tapes on a dvd disc is no problem....well, I guess I need to go to geek school to figure it out. I'm getting lots of lag when playing Unreal Tournament online also *sigh*. I can get the footage onto the computer but getting it from there onto the dvd is the problem....I'll try and play around with it some more.

Would be fun to post clips on here but no clue how to do that either. And yes, the "Manny Slap" clip is too funny!

[I Da Man]

Any chance of you emailing the "Manny Slap" clip to me?

Kinda sounds like a new dance...

Ps...sorry for hijacking your thread here Hanson...

Garca... I love'em!

You can hijack it if you want.

I'd love to see the "Manny Slap".

Thats a little bit better than Mr. BO

I don't know if we can post a streaming video here Dark but we could surely post a link to a downloadable video hosted off site.

I think Mr. Blacksportman there needs some time alone and some privacy with his beauty...lol

Nice catch.
