[black][size 3]It has been a long long time since I've been able to target any big ones. I currently live in Utah, and we just don't have any out here (we only have tiny fish - what you could consider bait ). All we have in this immediate area to speak of with any size are channels and carp ( ok, we do have a few macks and muskies and inland stripers ). So, that is what I mostly fish for when I go fishing for big ones - hence the light duty gear that I mentioned and pictured in my original post. [/size][/black]

[black][size 3]For the big fish, I have Penns and Abu Garcia, heavy rods with aging Ande or Berkley Big Game line in large pound testage and have hooks to match the quarry - but alas, my heavy duty gear has gone unused for all too long.[/size][/black]
