Thanks all for the advice and comments! I don't know about the current state of the Thresher population and or it's conservation. I just know I am still psyched two days later, and will go out tonight to make myself available for that rematch! I just hope "It" shows

. Maybe this time I will save a little bit of energy to remember that little lever on the right side of my reel when I get it boatside!
Cheers all!
