Busted the cherry on my new Backyard Custom Rod first thing yesterday morning. Eeling in 50+ feet right next to Old Plantation light. The fish was 37 lbs and 46.5". The rod handled perfectly during the fight as well as the Avet MXL 5.8 I put on it. I have never fished a better combo.
I have several Steve F custom rods and they are the best. Thanks for everything Steve:clap:

Sorry for the crappy cell phone photo, I have NO idea how only half the picture got blurred.

Steve built me the perfect rod for those depth's but I didn't get to try it last week at CBBT. Good thing about dealing with Steve is I had problems with my the jigging stick he built and he fixed it. Can't beat dealing with the little guys, no pun intended.

Atleast the fish looks good...That's all that counts.:clap:

Very nice fish. Congrats. Steve builds a great rod. He made me a 6'med. heavy spinning rod for big rock and I landed a 6' 100#+ Sand Tigershark in NC with it. The rod did a great job even though I put some serious pressure on that fish.

Tom I see you figured out how to use Photo shop

I have a few of Master Steve's rods and wouldn't buy anything different ! Great rods with plenty of backbone I should know I've been trying to break one for 5 years with no success even in 300 ft down catching 2 Tile fish at a time

Thanks for some great rods Steve !

Tom, I really appreciate the phone call and the photo last night (after the wife figured how to get it) I could defiantly hear the excitement in your voice about that your :bigfish: . Sorry for all the mix up with the rod but it sounds like it did what it was built for. Congrats and thanks so much for the plug I appreciate that. :thumbup:

Mike- I know you have been trying but one of these days you’re going to hook up on that Great White and I think it’s going to give on that one. :surrender: Thanks buddy and where in the he## are my jig heads I have been waiting by the mail box for 2 months now and it’s really starting to get cold out there.

Jack- Just wish you could have gotten a pic of that shark with that 6’ rod, man that would have been a great shot. Got your message and I’ll give you a call tomorrow.

Bob- You’ll get your chance just stick with Burgess he’ll show you how to try and break those rods.
