I was fortunate enough to be on the boat with Travis, Jesse, and Mike. We all had many hits although most fell short of getting hooked. I had a feeling that this would be a good trip and it was. I landed my first tuna on the JM400 I got from Kil last year. This rod had no problem handling that size fish. The trip started with some abuse from the guys about my spiral wrapped rod and lefty reel. It ended with my body being abused from fighting fish. This will be a trip I remember for a looooonnggg time. Thanks guys and best of luck on your next trip.
