Dear Hammer-Head I went Dorado fishing in Kochi. It was a 2 day adventure, but unfortunately the situation was not so good with only 2 fish over 10kg landed by 5 anglers. It seemed that pencils with realistic colors were better than poppers, with the fish only biting as a reaction. During which, I wanted to land a 10kg over fish with my Sharapoa, and was trying many different action patterns. There was a Sharapoa lover!! The fish was exactly 10kg, and attacked my lure when I was popping with long strides with bubbles clinging to the body. 5 of us casting away for 2 days and it was 1 of the 2 fish that were over 10kg. The others were using pencil lures so I was happy that I was able to catch this prized fish on my Sharapoa. This trip its self was pretty tough, so I would like to take revenge in autumn again. . When speaking of revenge, I hooked up a Blue-Fin Tuna in Shichiri with my Sharapoa, but unfortunately it busted me off. So I would like to land the next one!! Sharapoa has become a lure I cannot do without, so I would like to keep using it in the future. Yamasaki    （2006/8/23）
