Wow, I must be wrong. I've never hooked a thresher so I have no idea how to land them, but I can only hope to be so cool one day.

Did hobie provide you with complimentary kneepads?

SDhandy guy, hell of a story. Sounds exciting!

Double uni to uni with a Bimini twist on the main line, triple granny with a surgeon's loop on the leader and crimps on each tag end. That'll do ya'

That same double knot I tie on my sneaker everyday holds like a SOB.

The guy at the shimano seminar at day at the docks talked about what he referred to as "stupid tight" when your line is digging into the spool and it is making that noise. I backed off the drag just short of that, short pumped it and intended to make it a short fight. Just would not come up and dragged me a distance. Being fin hooked i'm sure did not help. Guess it was a "pup" at 90 but i'm still sore. Great story getting your fav. iron back. And after looking at Hobies one day i had to admit some advantages, paddling for now but peddaling could be in the future.

Thanks all for the advice and comments! I don't know about the current state of the Thresher population and or it's conservation. I just know I am still psyched two days later, and will go out tonight to make myself available for that rematch! I just hope "It" shows. Maybe this time I will save a little bit of energy to remember that little lever on the right side of my reel when I get it boatside!

Cheers all!
