Happy birthday, Mr. Shakespeare!

Finally managed to hook up after replacing the drags in my TLD15. Been dying to test it out for the past three weeks. No more sticky drags means no more farmed fish. I'm still smarting after losing 3 (!) fish in half an hour last month when the drag was seizing up on me and going from zero to infinity

Anyways, I enthusiastically recommend carbontex washers for any of you TLD15 users who find the stock drags a little sticky when the reel gets old. My shit is metamucil smooth now, and there was no question that this guy was coming into the boat.

24.5 pounds and quite the fighter. Kelp cutter rig proved absolutely essential.

Thanks to the guys in that super-sweet Parker for the otw action shots.
