Sure did, the Shimano Baitrunner 12000..love this reel..22# of drag and all of the fish I have caught were worn out quick. The secondary drag is super light, I place it on the lowest drag and the fish just run which gives me time to get situated before I engage..love it

Mark, good luck on Tuesday!!..i was blown away..water temp was 75 and I was in 150 feet of water but after that guy caught it in 90..who knows!

I have an ancient shimano baitrunner 4500B which holds 200 yards of 20 lb. mono which is about the same as the new baitrunner 8000.

It is an excellent reel for live bait fishing. My shimano repair technician says that most kayak fisherman should use spinning reels since they resist the saltwater more than conventional. Guys is Florida use them all the time for inshore fishing. I like using both especially levelwind reels but they are more susceptible to the saltwater environment. Also since I have to use left handed reels for years I only used spinners but now there are more options for left handed conventional.

Better than imagined. Congrats on another trophy. Thank you for writing it up. It's great fun reading about the catch and seeing the photos.

Good stuff there. As long as you jumped up after the crash and yelled "Ta Da" with your arms held up high? Might have been a good thing losing your Greenback early, the Tuna seem to prefer the Spanish at LJ.
