i ended up selling my boat for pretty cheap. i knew i could have gotten more but it was ok because it went to a great guy. and that great guy threw in two brand new gold penn international 80STW reels. just these reels alone cost about $2,000 with the line. i’m pretty happy about that.
i’ve never owned these kind of reels before because i simply couldn’t afford to buy them. so just holding them makes me feel like i’m holding some reel gold!
my brother had some fishing poles so after we mount them, i will test them out. i will let out the lines for about 15 minutes and if we don’t catch a fish, i will reel in the lines, put the fishing poles back in my house, and probably never use them again. why? because i don’t have enough patience to be a fisherman. haha.
been in touch with Go-Naminori Blogger Keith Kajioka over there in taiwan. the other swell, he told me he counted 50 japanese surfers in the water. omg, that’s crazy! just want to send a message to all the japanese surfers going to taiwan, “please respect the ocean and the locals. they local Taiwanese surfers are really nice so please be nice too. enjoy the great food, the great culture, and the great people of taiwan!”
