Still in search of a 400!

Well, my quest for that elusive 400+ pound Giant Yellowfin Tuna continues on. I am packed, and ready to start the 2008 season with my first trip to Puerto Vallarta, leaving Sunday for 4 days of fishing. I learned a little last year, which was my first time down to PV for fishing in the primetime of fall, and hope to learn a bit more this year.
I have my Accurate ATDs all freshly serviced, loaded with 100# hollow spectra which meets IGFA specifications for line test, breaking at 111#, well under the 130# maximum rate.
Also in my quiver, 3 different types of "experimental" Seeker rods, made by Yo's Custom Rods in Gardena, Ca. These are very short stout rods, with AFTCO bent butts and roller guides, and different E glass and graphite combinations.
I am very confident my tackle is ready, my body is ready, I just need one big fish to be ready!
