'Mad Fin' latest ESPN clips..

Hi All,
Thought that you might like to see the latest clips from the 'Mad Fin' series on the ESPN website. It depicts the horrible water condtions that we fished in which were due to the high, persistent winds that preceded and existed during the whole run of the tournament:

Both the Torque 300's and the rods performed flawlessly.. much better than the way we on Team Mercury handled the sharks at hullside.
I was very impressed with the drag systems on the Torques and I'm anticipating using them to play with the various species of shark that we find swimming up in our part of the world during the upcoming season.

Sun Protection..

Alloy,
Between the brutal effects of the FL Keys sun and running at 50+ knots... it definitely can have some very negative effect upon the epidermis of almost anyone and everyone.
With many guides having pieces of their hide cut/frozen off.. the lightbulb went off and almost everyone covers up to limit their sunlight exposure. The alternative is definitely not too pretty.. as I can relate from personal experience.

Ahhhhhh.....I thought so but they fish with them off (most of them) and wear them while running under a T-top........

I thought maybe bugs at high speeds........

Been under the fillet knife myself a couple times.........

Thx
