Where you been Jack! That fish is a giant trevally or "ulua" in Hawaiian. Similar to the Jack crevalle of the Gulf and Atlantic coast and the yellowtail or amberjack of the Pacific. I think they are distantly related to rooster fish also. Caught it on one of those 13 ft. surf rods and a 6/0 Penn Senator with 80 lb test and a rig similar to the one I had on dispaly at Columbia Lakes. I used a foot long filet of moray eel and it was caught off of a 50 cliff (no comforts of a dock!).

Got'r Done!
Just pull the center screw and the front plate screws off counter clockwise - now in 50 years when we have all digital clocks, what term will we use cuz nobody born after 2055 will know what counter clockwise means?
(I'm asking now cuz I plan to be on an extended fishing trip in 50 years!)
