Thanks guys.....

Tom,
The reel is Daiwa Alpha 103L, wanna get my self a Revo STX recently,but turn off when know that they dont have a lefty for hi-speed(7.1:1),end up with Daiwa TD Advantage HSTA.Btw revo is a good reel....Hi drag capacity too....max 24 lbs for a small reel...

Teacher,
The length of the fish is not exact,just an estimation comparing the length of my rods and the fish length....so i not dare to estimate the weight of the fish...Ritchie say that its around 5 lb.....
