glad you landed one.

As far as gear goes I always go with the heavier stuff, 65lb spectra with 40lb mono/fluoro and I NEVER use hooks that say 'light' anywhere on the packaging, I prefer to not take a chance on losing a big fish. The last big fish that I lost wasn't due to gear failure, it was all Roby's fault. Anyway, congrats and keep putting that time on the water.........it pays off!!

As far as your bait pump goes don't rule out the fact that your actual pump might be going bad, I'm going on my 3rd pump in 8years. If you get a new battery and you're still having issues (short battery life) it's definitely going to be your pump.
