I am glad to hear you were able to give the Gen 7 a good home. Nice talking to you about it and I hope you are having a lot of luck catching with the HDI. I put mine on the boat and had it on the water once. Liked what I saw but I need to use it several more times to get the feel for it. Work and family health issues have kept me off the water this year. It would be nice to meet up with you in our area sometime and try to hook a few. Take care for now and happy hooking.
