Gordy,

This ain't texas, but up here when you hook into a sturgeon, it had better be longer than 4-1/2 feet and less than six or you have to throw him back.

Its a real fun to play out an eight footer on 40 pound test, but a pain in the you know what when you have to release him.

And although I am over 250 miles inland the old Columbia can really draw your respect for that ocean going "V" bottom battle wagon.

Racer,
Are you building a wheel? I am working on the details of a build now. Haven't started the build yet.
It would be good to have a thread where builders discuss where they are in their build.
