Probably my last open-water fishing for this year today, brought home a 27" pike that had a partially digested 8-9" white perch in the tummy.  Also found that the reel I bought in 1999 or 2000 and fished hard is worn out, gears occasionally skip and drag tightens all by itself without moving the external adjuster.  That latter item cost me a lure and another sizable pike before I realized what was going on.  C'est la vie.

My father bought a Johnson Century back around 1950, I'm still using it and it's still smooth.

I used a Johnson Century from 1960 thru the time I bought the reel noted above, about 40 years.  It was an award for reducing the huge snapping turtle population in the nearby lake, snagging them with a device made with wire and a big treble hook.
