Surprise today!

Oh man John, if you got an Ardent XS, you've got one sweet reel there.
I'm envious.

Steve, I had no idea what the reel was....after your comment, I went and
looked it up on the internet....crap, now I am paranoid about using it!
.

P.S. I fished it late this evenng....still not "good" with the casting
bit, but I caught a couple 2 pounders on it. What a difference from
spinning gear....I might become a convert after all!
