LOL ... funny you should ask Mantis. This was a horrible season for me ... I had little time to fish, and when I did the fish didn't cooperate.

So, to answer your question ... a camera. I had hardly a single opportunity to press the shutter button.

There's always next season I guess (although I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an upcoming steelhead trip).

P.S.

I think I might have that reel foot you asked me about. It took me awhile, but I believe I've one that will work for ya' ... I just need to check the screw set on your reel.
