You have a great gift, being able to not only visit magical places like this, but capturing their essence. Another awesome photo essay, one I particulaly enjoyed, me being a laker-holic and all
Buddy should consider himself lucky...a wolf that size could have tore him to pieces with little to no effort, seems like the wolf wasn't actively trying to kill him or even hurt him...pretty brazen of a single wild dog anyway!
Welcome to the board. I just watched a good portion of your Onaping video...very cool.
Just a tip though, holding your rod 3/4 up the blank while i a pike is thrashing around on a tight line is a great way to break a rod, and yes, I am speaking from experience
I recently drove a '14 Ram with the 3.6 pentastar, and it's got plenty of jam even in the truck, which is likely much heavier than the GC. Plus it's rated to tow around 6500-7000 in the truck config. So I don't think you're losing out on much for your needs
