I'm a member of the NAFC and a while back, in their magazine, I noticed they had a "Catch and Release" online fishing contest. So I figured, why not? Here's the picture I entered. I thought my chances would be pretty good with a bass this size from Illinois...

Here's what I ended up winning...

The reel is worth $150 and I didn't pay a thing. Here's the specs on the reel from the Okuma site...

NAFC says that they might put my picture in their magazine. I can't wait to start using it. It will make a great bass and salmon reel.

I'm real happy w/ the okuma stuff. I own several reels,I just got the aventa centerpin w/ matching 13'6" float rod. this is the first I've seen the reel you won but I'm sure you'll like it. Joe

just checked out the specs and noticed a 5 year warrenty, that should say something right there.
