Found myself offshore the other day and was able to break in my new 12 wt. combo on a few jacks... It was a blast!

Dude... that reel is sick! The drag is unbelievable. I wasn't sure about the handle placement before I bought it but I love it now after using it. Just takes a little while to get used to.

Nice! I'd say you "broke on through to the other side" The Doors 
I've never gone heavier than 8wt so this looks like some serious power to me. I also cast and reel with my right hand. At some point in there, like when a fish is on the reel, I move the rod between hands.
